Plot Summary
In 2000, the presidential election boiled down to a few precious votes in one state--Florida--and a mandatory recount that would add 'hanging chad' to the American political lexicon. Haggling over every ballot, Republican and Democratic campaigners waged a 36-day street fight in the Sunshine State--with the presidency of the United States as the ultimate prize. Two-time Oscar(R)-winner Kevin Spacey stars in this gripping drama that examines the torturous process that culminated in the Supreme Court decision in Bush vs. Gore.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: An astute and deliciously engrossing film.
Fresh: Smart, star-studded and anchored by another fine-tuned performance from Kevin Spacey.
Fresh: Butterfly ballots and hanging chads become the stuff of great political intrigue.
Rotten: The movie doesn't embrace its potential for farce, for suspense, or for outrage. Ultimately, the filmmakers could have punched a little harder.
