MAN OF THE YEAR
SYNOPSIS
What would happen if one of the nation’s funniest
men became its leading one? Oscar® winner Robin
Williams reunites with the director of Good Morning,
Vietnam to answer just that question in the comic
tale of an entertainer’s accidental rise to power,
Man of the Year.
Acerbic performer Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams) has
made his career out of skewering politicians and
speaking the mind of the exasperated nation on his
talk show. He cracked scathing jokes at a fractured
system night after night…until he came up with a
really funny idea: why not run for president himself?
After a flip comment, Dobbs ignites a grassroots
movement that puts him on the ballot. Hot on the
campaign trail, he debates elected drones and says
exactly what frustrated voters have often thought.
Nov. 2nd later, the muckraker wins—only to learn
that a computer voting error gave him the victory.
With time ticking on the inaugural clock, Dobbs has
a big decision to make: should he go back behind
the mike or stay in the Oval Office?--©Universal
