About the Film:

The fight against cancer will unite more than 60 celebrities on the Stand Up to Cancer fund-raiser, a star-studded TV special airing Sept. 5 at 8 p.m. simultaneously on CBS, ABC and NBC. The live fund- and awareness-raising television special will include participants like Salma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson, Lance Armstrong, America Ferrera, Meryl Streep, Charlize Theron and Forest Whitaker. This event's goal is to encourage scientists to work together to improve cancer care!

The celebrities, along with network news anchors Katie Couric, Charles Gibson and Brian Williams, will deliver an evening of "edutainment," said executive producer Laura Ziskin, a cancer survivor who helped establish the event and the nonprofit group behind it.

"There will be laughter. There will be tears. And you'll learn something about how we can turn the outcome of this disease if we just set our minds to it. People can call in and talk to their favorite celebrity," Ziskin said, if callers buzz in to make a donation.
