In a razor-thin presidential election, the fate of the entire nation comes down to a single vote in a single New Mexico county, and due to a bizarre technicality, that vote belongs to one man. Kevin Costner stars as Bud Johnson, an apathetic, beer-loving everyman whose life is upended when he is thrust into the global spotlight. As the media circus descends and the two desperate presidential candidates, played by Dennis Hopper and Kelsey Grammer, begin shamelessly reshaping their entire platforms to woo him, Bud’s sharp and principled young daughter Molly (Madeline Carroll) becomes his unlikely moral compass. This sharp political comedy from director Joshua Michael Stern explores the absurdities of modern politics with a lighthearted touch, as Bud navigates a whirlwind of spin doctors like Stanley Tucci and Nathan Lane, newfound fame, and the unexpected weight of becoming the most important person in America.
