Synopsis – What to Expect from “The Front Runner”
The Front Runner is a 2018 political drama film directed by Jason Reitman and starring Hugh Jackman as Gary Hart, a charismatic Senator from Colorado who is running for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination.
The film opens with Hart’s campaign gaining momentum, as he is seen as the front runner for the nomination. His candidacy is bolstered by his wife, Lee (Vera Farmiga), and his campaign manager, Bill Dixon (J.K. Simmons).
However, Hart’s campaign is soon derailed when a Miami Herald journalist, A.J. Parker (Mamoudou Athie), discovers that Hart is having an extramarital affair with Donna Rice (Sara Paxton). The news of the affair quickly spreads, and Hart is forced to confront the consequences of his actions.
The film follows Hart as he attempts to salvage his campaign and his reputation. He gives a number of interviews to try and explain himself, but the media and his opponents continue to focus on the scandal. He is also forced to confront his own mistakes and the consequences of his actions.
The Front Runner is a powerful and gripping drama that explores the power of the media, the cost of ambition, and the consequences of a single mistake. It is an honest and thought-provoking look at the modern political landscape, and the personal cost of achieving success.
