A conservative folk singer, Bob Roberts, turns his hand to politics, running for the US Senate. He sets about organising rallies, singing songs to get his message across. He is not above using dirty tricks and smears to gain an advantage over his opponent. Meanwhile, a reporter is investigating Roberts's potential involvement in a drug ring.
Written by, directed by and starring Tim Robbins, this is a brilliant satire on US politics. Quite accurate in depicting the lengths politicians will go to for power, and quite funny at times in how ridiculous they look doing it.
Very relevant, at any time. Always good to be reminded of the type of people that are asking you to vote for them.
Great ending - wonderful twist. Very powerful and profound.
