The Candidate

  (1972)
Robert Redford stars as Bill McKay, a California lawyer urged to run against the seemingly unbeatable Republican incumbent in a senatorial race. McKay is a well-meaning innocent, but as support widens for his open platform, the sellout begins. With an Oscar-winning script and appearances by real-life reporters and politicians, The Candidate takes a biting look at the nature of politics.
