City Hall

CrimeDramaMysteryThriller111 min

After a young boy is killed in a police shoot-out in New York City, Deputy Mayor Kevin Calhoun starts looking into the case and finds it reaching deep into City Hall. John Cusack is the idealistic Calhoun, a close aide to Mayor John Pappas, whose public warmth and larger political ambitions put every decision under a harsher light. Al Pacino's Pappas looms over the city as the investigation pulls in police, corruption, and the machinery of power, turning a single tragedy into a threat to the administration itself.
