In 1950s New York, Clement Archer, head of a popular radio show, faces a moral dilemma: five of his employees are accused of being communists, and a magazine threatens disclosure unless Archer fires each and every one. Despite his efforts to maintain his principles and avoid self-incrimination, Archer finds himself hounded from both ends of the political spectrum for his seemingly righteous actions. 'The Troubled Air' is a powerful portrayal of a good, decent man ensnared by the hysteria and cruelty of a dark period in American history.
