Shattered Glass movie plot

A ray of morning light spilled through the window lattice on the computer desk in the corner of the room, and at the same time awakened Stephen Glass who was in deep thought. He pushed the glasses that had slipped from the bridge of his nose, and he had been sitting in a chair for hours without knowing how many hours. He stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the city gradually awakening from its deep sleep, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Glass's mouth, and a touch of sly in his bloodshot eyes was fleeting. Stephen Glass is an assistant editor of the "New Republic" magazine in Washington. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1995, he joined this 90-year-old and influential American company to publish political and social publications. A well-known magazine for reviews. The sleepless work enabled Glass to easily win the approval of editor-in-chief Michael Kelly. He often greeted his colleagues in the magazine and would give them small things as gifts from time to time. Soon, almost everyone who knew him fell in love with this guy with big charming eyes and a childish face, and even tolerated his many very childish quirks very kindly. Diligence is bound to be rich in rewards. In the past three years, dozens of influential reports have been published in "New Republic" magazine and several nationally distributed publications. The 25-year-old Stephen has become a rising star. There are shocking facts behind this seemingly affectionate and promising big boy. If it weren't for the well-written report called "Hacker Paradise" that he just wrote for the online edition of the famous "Fortune" magazine, people might never know the truth. In fact, Glass has always been a liar who fools readers and gains honor by fabricating fake news. "Hacker Paradise" is a documentary report describing how a 15-year-old hacker hacked into the database of a company called "Jukt Micronics" and extorted tens of thousands of dollars from the company. The material is detailed, the language is vivid, and the content is rich. It reflects Glass's consistent creative style, which is why his articles always arouse readers' great interest. What caught the attention of the editors of Fortune magazine was that the report was almost perfect. The material of the article is indeed detailed, and even every detail description is impeccable, but it is so detailed that it makes people feel a little incredible. And the content is indeed rich and vivid, but it seems a bit too rich, so vivid that the more you look at it, the less real it feels. So they notified Charles Lane, who had just succeeded Michael Kelly and the new editor-in-chief of the "New Republic" magazine, and Lane immediately began an investigation, and a terrifying scam was revealed.  .
