WAG THE DOG

A comedy about truth, justice and other special effects.

Two weeks before re-election, the President of the United States (Michael Belson) is accused of accosting a girl scout. Before the news reaches the media, his advisors call in political spin-master Conrad "Connie" Brean (Robert De Niro) specializing in image rescues. What to do? Hire Hollywood producer Stanley Motts (Dustin Hoffman) to create a war--distracting public attention from the scandal and rallying Americans to their President in surge of patriotic fervor. From acclaimed director Barry Levinson, and writers, Hillary Henkin and David Mamet comes this biting and prescient look at American politics and its relationship with the media
