The Ides of March

Stephen Meyers is the second-in-command of Mike Morris's campaign. Morris is a governor seeking the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. The story begins in Ohio, just days before the primaries in that state and in North Carolina, contests that could decide the candidate's future. Stephen is a young, idealistic adviser who believes in Morris and devotes himself completely to his cause. Alongside Paul Zara, the campaign manager, he works tirelessly to secure the nomination against his main rival, Ted Pullman. Every endorsement counts, every move must be calculated, and every mistake can cost votes. George Clooney directs the film and also plays Morris, while Ryan Gosling brings Stephen to life in this political drama set in the final stretch of the primaries.
