Bill McKay (Robert Redford) agrees to run for the senate, with no intention of actually winning, but gets caught up in political games regardless. Jeremy Larner won an Oscar for the screenplay, which to me in the Trump era seems almost charmingly naive: is this really what passed for cynical political satire in the 1970s?
