A 2018 film written and directed by Jason Reitman about Senator Gary Hart, who in 1987 was considered the front runner for the Democratic Party presidential candidate before a scandal forced him to drop out.After an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1983, Senator Hart (Hugh Jackman) regroups for another run in 1987. This time the political climate is in his favor with his rugged charm and Colorado background, the presidency feels within reach. A series of events end up with several journalists finding evidence of him having an affair with aspiring fund-raising activist Donna Rice. What would otherwise be a slow news day instead starts snowballing into a rising scandal, and once it starts negatively impacting his family Hart cancels his campaign.Also starring J. K.
