Absolute power corrupts absolutely in writer/director Steven Zaillian's (the Oscar®-winning screenwriter of Schindler's List) adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's classic novel All the King's Men featuring an all all-star cast led by Sean Penn, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, James Gandolfini and Anthony Hopkins. All the King's Men charts the spectacular rise and fall of a charismatic Southern politician, "Boss" Willie Stark (Penn). Law co-stars as Jack Burden, the once idealistic, now embittered ex-reporter who unwittingly fuels Stark's corrupt political ambitions.
