Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is a 2004 American comedy film, directed by Adam McKay and starring Will Ferrell. The film, which was also written by Ferrell and MCKay, is a tongue-in-cheek take on the culture of the 1970s, particularly the then-new Action News format. It portrays a San Diego TV station where one female reporter (Christina Applegate) struggles to become the first Anchorwoman. This film is number 100 on Bravo's 100 funniest movies, and 113 on Empire's 500 Greatest Movies of All Time .
The film made $28.4 million in its opening weekend, and $89.3 million worldwide in its total theatrical run. A companion film assembled from outtakes and abandoned subplots, titled Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie , was released straight-to-DVD in late 2004. In May 2008, it was confirmed that a sequel to Anchorman is in the planning stages.
Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) is San Diego's finest anchorman for the fictional KVWN-TV's "Channel 4 News at 6:00". In his city Ron is so well-known that a baby's first words are "Ron Burgundy". He works alongside his friends and co-reporters Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), who works as the lead field reporter, sportscaster Champion "Champ" Kind (David Koechner), and chief meteorologist Brick Tamland (Steve Carell). After a successful day of work, the team is notified their station has again maintained its long-held status as the highest-rated in town, leading them to throw a wild party (even though their boss, Ed Harken (Fred Willard), told his assistant Garth Holiday (Chris Parnell) not to let this happen). During the party Ron sees a woman named Veronica. Ron attempts to seduce her but fails miserably.
The next day Ed, the executive director of the news station, is forced by the network that owns the station to bring a female worker onto the team. He hires Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), a news reporter from Asheville, North Carolina, who turns out to be the woman Ron tried to woo at the party the previous night. After being told that Ling-Wong, a famous panda at the San Diego Zoo is pregnant, the news team has a confrontation with Wes Mantooth (Vince Vaughn) and his Channel 9 Evening News team, who are second in the most recent ratings. Champ and Brian (and Brian again, using Brick) attempt to seduce Veronica using inept and arrogant flirting and they all fail. Ron ends up asking her out under the guise of helping out a new co-worker, which she accepts. During their date, Ron starts playing the jazz flute in his friend Tino's (Fred Armisen) club. After a change of heart, Veronica sleeps with Ron after their wildly successful date. The next day, despite agreeing with Veronica to keep the relationship discreet, Ron loudly announces that he is dating Veronica and having sexual intercourse with her.
The next day as Ron is heading to work, he throws a burrito out his car window and hits a motorcyclist (Jack Black) in the head, distracting the biker enough to cause him to crash his bike. Furious, the motorcyclist retaliates by punting Ron's dog Baxter off the Coronado Bridge. A horribly saddened and incoherent Ron calls Brian from a payphone to tell him about Baxter, while Brian tells Ron to rush to the studio to prevent Ed from putting Veronica on the air as Ron's replacement. Despite Ron's efforts to arrive early, they put Veronica on the air.
After Ron arrives, he has an argument with Veronica about the situation and they break up. The next day, Veronica is made co-anchor, much to Ron's displeasure. The co-anchors soon become fierce rivals and bitter enemies.
To ease Ron's pain, he and his news team agree to buy new suits. While walking in search of the suit store, the team is confronted yet again by Wes Mantooth and his team and the two newsteams decide to have a brawl. However, just as they prepare to fight, more news teams arrive, from Channel 2, from the Spanish channel, and from public television. Despite a decision to ban any touching of hair or face during the fight, the 24 man brawl escalates quickly (including one man being set on fire, another getting his arm chopped off, and Brick killing a rival reporter with a trident). The fight ends when cops enter the scene, and the crew heads back to the newsroom.
While in a restaurant celebrating Veronica's big debut, one of Veronica's friends tells her that Ron will read anything that's written on the teleprompter, no matter what it is. So Veronica sneaks into the station and changes the words in Ron's teleprompter. The next day, instead of Ron delivering his signature "You stay classy, San Diego," Ron closes the broadcast with "Go fuck yourself, San Diego." After hearing this, an angry mob gathers outside the studio and Ed is forced to fire Ron (who is oblivious until shown video of what he just said). Veronica sees she has gone too far and attempts to apologize, but Ron dismisses her, calling her a "heartless bitch demon" while being led through the mob by security.
Three months later Ron is unemployed, has no friends (if anything, he is actually the town pariah) and is a slovenly drunk, while Veronica has become extremely famous. When Ling-Wong the panda is about to give birth, all the news teams head for the zoo to cover the story, but in an attempt to sabotage her, the public news anchor (Tim Robbins) pushes Veronica into the Kodiak bear habitat, where any noise would infuriate the sleeping bears. When Ed can't find Veronica, he calls the bar where Ron spends most of his time and reluctantly asks him to return. Ron then summons the rest of his team by blowing the "News Horn." He calls for his news team to "ASSEMBLE!;" however, it turns out they were all standing a foot away playing pool. Baxter hears this call and follows the voice to find Ron once again. Once at the zoo, the team finds Veronica, and Ron jumps into the bear pen to save her; this attracts everyone else in the zoo to watch. The Channel 4 news team jumps in to help Ron but is easily defeated. Just as the leader of the bears is about to rip Ron and Veronica apart, Baxter (who was seen to emerge from an unknown river), shows up and convinces the bear to leave Ron and the team alone.
After Ron and Veronica reconcile, it's shown that in years to come, Brian becomes the host of a Fox reality show named Intercourse Island , Brick is George W. Bush's top political advisor and is married with eleven children, Champ was a commentator for the NFL before sexually harassing Terry Bradshaw, and Ron and Veronica are co-anchors for World News Center (a parody of CNN, whose first two anchors were the originally Sacramento-based husband-and-wife team of David Walker and Lois Hart).
