Tagline: America likes to watch
Plot: In an age when almost anyone can be famous for fifteen minutes, what does fame mean? How far will people go to get it - and what are its rewards? When video and live television give us ringside seats to almost any event, what can or should we show? What are we willing to watch? How do we feel about culture's seemingly insatiable appetite for calamity, tragedy and horrific crime? What ultimately is the price we pay for this indulgence? From the award-winning director of Don King: Only in America and 2 Days in the Valley comes an action thriller laced with dark humor and social commentary about fame in our times, Fifteen Minutes. Robert De Niro and Edward Burns star in writer-producer-director John Herzfeld's multi-media journey through a hot summer in New York City when an arson investigator (Burns) must team with a famous homicide detective (De Niro) to track a murderer. Set in a tabloid world of murder and mayhem, 15 MINUTES is a fast-paced, electrifying thriller that takes on modern America's tawdry fascination with crime. Arson investigator Jordy Warsaw (Edward Burns) tags along with celebrity cop Eddie Flemming (Robert DeNiro) to investigate a double murder committed by a pair of Eastern European criminals, Emil and Oleg, who have come to America seeking money owed them
