2006 Movie United States Drama, Romance, Thriller, Comedy 114 min Ages 13+
By: Barry Levinson With: Zoe Doyle, Robin Williams, Linda Kash, Gary Douglas, Laura Linney

Tom Dobbs, comedic host of a political talk show--a' la Bill Maher and Jon Stewart--runs for President of the US as an independent candidate who, after an issues-oriented campaign and an explosive performance in the final debate, gets just enough votes to win. Trouble is, he owes his victory to a computer glitch in the national touch-screen voting system marketed by Delacroy, a private company with a rising stock price. To protect their fortune, Delacroy executives want to keep the glitch a secret, but one programmer, Eleanor Green, wants Dobbs to know the truth. Can she get to him?
