Movie · Drama

In 2000, the presidential election boiled down to a few precious votes in one state--Florida--and a mandatory recount that would add 'hanging chad' to the American political lexicon. Haggling over every ballot, Republican and Democratic campaigners waged a 36-day street fight in the Sunshine State--with the presidency of the United States as the ultimate prize. Two-time Oscar(R)-winner Kevin Spacey stars in this gripping drama that examines the torturous process that culminated in the Supreme Court decision in Bush vs. Gore.
