He and his cabinet intend to eliminate poverty and racial injustice. But the drums of war are beating in South-East Asia...As The Vietnam War escalates far beyond the proposed estimates of his cabinet and generals, LBJ finds himself leading a country that is torn apart by the escalation of the war and the requirements needed to win.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film dramatizes the tragedy of a President who went along with the plan and the best experts he had, for a war he really did not want, and was ultimately destroyed by it. | |

The Chess Master: LBJ successfully plays his hands that he used to play when he was master of the Senate. A subplot focuses on his efforts to pass the Voting Rights Act and confronting George Wallace's treatment of Civil Rights activists in Alabama using the famous "Johnson Treatment." Unfortunately power slips away when he finds opposition to the Vietnam War increase. | |
