Sleazy advertising, corrupt lawyers, inflation, an oil crisis–what is this, 1980 or 2026? This black comedy about the end of the Carter era–from the people who later brought us Back to the Future–has more than a few resonances with our current circumstances.

Starring Kurt Russell, Jack Warden, Gerritt Graham, Deborah Harmon, Frank McRae, David Lander, Michael McKean, and Joe Flaherty. Written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. Directed by Robert Zemeckis.
