RKO 281

In 1941, a maelstrom of creative genius and ruthless ambition converged on RKO Pictures as Orson Welles struggled to bring his magnum opus, Citizen Kane, to life. Against a backdrop of yellow press gossip columns and the suffocating grip of powerful studio heads, Welles must confront the hypocritical William Randolph Hearst, whose own dark past is eerily reflected in the film's themes of power and betrayal. Through a tangled web of talent disputes, commercial pressure, and personal vendettas, RKO 281 chronicles the making of a cinematic masterpiece that would forever alter the face of American cinema.
