“Vigilante justice meets self-promotion”
Stern
USA, mid-2000s. Chris Hansen (Robert Pattinson) hosts the ratings-hit news magazine Dateline NBC. To push viewership even higher, he devises a radical new segment: To Catch a Predator. The concept: on hidden cameras, Hansen confronts men who believe they are meeting minors, lured in by undercover online decoy profiles. The show becomes an overnight sensation, breaking ratings records, with Hansen styling himself as an unyielding avenger fighting for child protection. But as the sting operations grow increasingly ruthless, the boundary between investigative journalism, digital vigilantism, and media witch hunt spirals out of control. When a suspect takes his own life, the machinery behind the broadcast threatens to collapse. Director James Ponsoldt crafts PRIMETIME as an unsettling study of media power, voyeurism, and the moral abysses of reality television.
Based on a true story, PRIMETIME reconstructs the meteoric rise and dramatic fallout of one of the most controversial TV formats in American broadcasting history. Robert Pattinson shines in the lead role as a driven host torn between journalistic ambition, hubris, and paranoia.
