Synopsis
Two weeks before the elections, the president of the United States, who is running for re-election, is mixed up in a sex scandal. To distract the attention of the press, his advisor (Anne Heche) hires Conrad Brean (Robert De Niro), a consultant who specializes in political crises. He teams up with cinema producer Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman) on the mission to create a patriotic campaign through a fictitious war in Albania. For an even more realistic effect, the campaign includes a moving soundtrack and a heroic character (Woody Harrelson) -who is really a psychotic prisoner of war.
