Für viele war Roger Ebert der vielleicht einflussreichste Filmkritiker Amerikas. Am 4. April 2013 verstarb der hochangesehene Publizist nach langem Krebsleiden. Über 45 Jahre lang schrieb er seine vielzitierten Kritiken für die Chicago Sun-Times und trat außerdem gemeinsam mit dem Kollegen Gene Siskel von 1975 bis 1999 in verschiedenen Fernsehformaten auf. Darin debattierten die Kritiker, die häufig gegensätzlicher Meinungen waren, über aktuelle Filme.
