Synopsis:
When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center.
When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center.
At first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible
choice but, with the help of his new benefactors’ support, a cutthroat campaign
manager and his family’s political connections, he soon becomes a contender who
gives the charismatic Cam plenty to worry about.
As election day closes in, the two are locked in a dead
heat, with insults quickly escalating to injury until all they care about is
burying each other, in this mud-slinging, back-stabbing, home-wrecking comedy
that takes today’s political circus to its logical next level. Because even when you think campaign
ethics have hit rock bottom, there’s room to dig a whole lot deeper.
“The Campaign” stars Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott and
Katherine LaNasa, with John Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd and Brian Cox. Directed by Jay
Roach and written by Chris Henchy & Shawn Harwell, from a story by Adam
McKay & Chris Henchy & Shawn Harwell, it is produced by Will Ferrell,
Adam McKay, Jay Roach and Zach Galifianakis. Amy Sayres, Jon Poll and Chris
Henchy serve as executive producers.
Opening across the Philippines this August, “The Campaign”
will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment
