A reporter's dream of becoming a news anchor is compromised after a one-night stand leaves her stranded in downtown L.A. without a phone, car, ID or money - and only 8 hours to make it to the most important job interview of her life.

Introduction
"Walk of Shame" is a 2014 American funny movie written and directed by Steven Brill. The film, led by Elizabeth Banks, revolves around a press reporter's insane night following an one-night stand, which threatens her chance at a prominent job chance. Besides Banks, the cast members consist of James Marsden, Gillian Jacobs, and Sarah Wright, to name a few.

Plot
Meghan Miles, depicted by Elizabeth Banks, works as a news anchor in Los Angeles and dreams of transitioning to network news. On the day she believes she's securing a position as a network newscaster, she gets sad as her dream task slips away. Her boyfriend leaves her, and her buddies take her out for a night of intoxicating fun to unwind from her frustrating day.

Meghan then gets in touch with Gordon, a bartender played by James Marsden, resulting in a drunken one-night stand at his location. Getting up the next morning to a misdialed call, she learns there's another possibility for her to secure the network news task. She hurries out to make it to the channel station, just to discover herself locked out of Gordon's apartment or condo, outfitted in a revealing yellow gown, sans personal possessions including her car, cash, and identification.

Meghan's Adventure
Meghan's walk of shame takes a downhill, with the city of Los Angeles relatively conspiring versus her. Her journey to get to the network news job leads her through a string of comedic encounters and misunderstandings, all while navigating through shifty neighborhoods of Los Angeles. People's understanding of Meghan, based entirely on her appearance in the yellow gown, leads to her misidentification as a hooker, a dealer, and an exotic dancer throughout the city.

In spite of the growing difficulties, Meghan remains undeterred and reveals resilience. She endures an authorities chase, a crack-dealing kid, a cab driver who refuses to assist her, and even an encounter with a gang who wants to make her their gangster queen. Each plot twist even more intensifies the chaos and hilarity of her journey.

Climax and Conclusion
As Meghan conquers levels of escalating turmoil, she handles to hitch a trip with a friendly, handy old lady, only to wind up taking her van out of desperation. Her irregular journey to the network studio is telecasted, painting her as a widespread criminal throughout regional news. However, once she comes to the studio during a live broadcast, Meghan siezes the chance to clear her name. She uses her platform to assert herself, speaking on the predispositions and judgments she suffered throughout her "walk of shame."

The movie concludes on a high note with Meghan making the network job, impressing the executives with her wit and on-air comedy throughout the broadcast. As Meghan accepts her chaotic journey, she discovers fortune within the ruckus and turmoil. She also reconnects with Gordon, who showed up at the studio to support her.

Overall
