What it’s about. When Eastern European criminals Oleg and Emil come to New York City to pick up their share of a heist score, Oleg steals a video camera and starts filming their activities, both legal and illegal. When they learn how the American media circus can make a remorseless killer look like the victim and make them rich, they target media-savvy NYPD Homicide Detective Eddie Flemming and media-naive FDNY Fire Marshal Jordy Warsaw, the cops investigating their murder and torching of their former criminal partner, filming everything to sell to the local tabloid TV show "Top Story."

Who’s in it. 15 Minutes stars Robert De Niro as Eddie Flemming, Charlize Theron as Rose Hearn, Kelsey Grammer as Robert Hawkins and Avery Brooks as Leon Jackson, among others.
