During the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, the ABC Sports crew presides over the coverage of the spirited and relatively uneventful Games. When Mark Spitz wins gold in the swimming event over a West German competitor, president Roone Arledge dramatizes the win by cutting to his competitor's reaction and planning to introduce the subject of the Holocaust and Nazi Germany during a live interview with Spitz. When Marvin Bader, the head of operations, questions the decision, Arledge reminds him of the importance of emphasizing emotions over politics to make an effective broadcast.
