With a presidential election days away and a sexual-misconduct accusation threatening the White House, a veteran fixer scrambles to change the story. Robert De Niro is the adviser who hires a Hollywood producer to manufacture a war with Albania for television, and Dustin Hoffman’s showman of a producer treats the deception like the biggest project of his career. Barry Levinson’s satire moves through Washington back rooms, studio offices, and cable-news spin as politics, media, and image-making start operating by the same rules.
