Game Change
Politics would never be the same.
Directed by Jay Roach
Produced by Playtone, HBO Films
A sharp, energetic political drama that examines the chaos and human cost of a high-stakes presidential campaign through the lens of an unprepared candidate thrust into the spotlight.
During the Republican run of the 2008 Presidential election, candidate John McCain picks a relative unknown, Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, to be his running mate. As the campaign kicks into high gear, her lack of experience, in both political and media savvy, becomes a drain upon McCain and his strategists.
