Das Spiel der Macht (2006)
Der charismatische Südstaatenpolitiker „Boss“ Willie Stark hat es weit gebracht. Unaufhörlich steigt der populäre Demagoge die Karriereleiter immer weiter hinauf und tritt mehr und mehr ins Rampenlicht. Der einst nicht minder idealistische, nun aber verbitterte Ex-Reporter Jack Burden ist Stark dabei unfreiwillig eine große Hilfe auf seinem steilen Weg nach oben. Doch dort „oben“ herrschen Korruption und Verrat, ist kein Platz für Idealismus. Das muss Willie Stark am eigenen Leib erfahren. Zunehmend verliert er seine anfängliche Unschuld und wird genauso korrupt wie all diejenigen, die er zuvor so vehement verfolgt hat. Nach seinem spektakulären Aufstieg erlebt der Politiker einen tiefen Fall. Absolute Macht korrumpiert absolut – eine Erkenntnis, die bald zur bitteren Wahrheit für Willie wird …
