The chaos and drama of battle is revealed - the battle to install the Democratic candidate In the White House. Focusing on chief political strategist James Carville and communications director George Stephanopoulos, the film covers critical moments during the Clinton campaign, to which the film-makers had exclusive access. In spite of this, recalls producer R J Cutler, "there were times when we had to sneak between Secret Service lines, and we never knew when they would tell us to stop filming". The story begins in the contemporary war room at the Democratic Convention In New York City and continues at the Clinton/Gore headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas. We drive through middle America on the campaign bus and witness the frantic and exuberant final days leading up to the election.
