As a parting shot, fired reporter Ann Mitchell prints a fake letter from unemployed "John Doe," who threatens suicide in protest of social ills. The paper is forced to rehire Ann and hires John Willoughby to impersonate "Doe." Ann and her bosses cynically milk the story for all it's worth, until the made-up "John Doe" philosophy starts a whole political movement.

"A beautiful depiction of the American people, tired of being pushed and controlled by corrupt government officials, taking a stand, demanding that their voices be heard. Loving and looking out for one other, instead of allowing division to separate and keep them from standing as a United front against the real enemy. "
