Storyline

After being caught in a scandalous situation days before the election, the president does not seem to have much of a chance of being re-elected. One of his advisers contacts a top Hollywood producer in order to manufacture a war in Albania that the president can heroically end, all through mass media.



Short Review

Hilary Henkin and David Mamet's script is gleefully hyperbolic without ever straying from its political target.
