In the Loop

Comedy106 min

As the U.S. president and UK prime minister move toward war in the Middle East, ministers, aides, and advisers on both sides of the Atlantic scramble either to build support or stop the push before a UN vote. Peter Capaldi is at the center of the bureaucratic panic, with Tom Hollander caught in the same cycle of mixed messages and damage control. From London offices to Washington hallways, every badly timed quote, leaked memo, and panicked phone call turns high-level policy into a running public-relations disaster.
