Die Kriegsmacher (1997)
Der Gouverneur von Idaho, Jim Farley , will in seinem Staat keine pakistanischen Kriegswaisen aufnehmen. Er lässt die Grenzen abriegeln. Der Präsident hingegen ist für eine Aufnahme der Kinder. Er gibt den Befehl zum Angriff: Der zweite amerikanische Bürgerkrieg beginnt. Für den Fernsehsender News-Net ist das Ganze ein gefundenes Fressen: Ein gigantisches Medienspektakel nimmt seinen Lauf. Bitterböse Politsatire mit herausragenden Darstellern. Emmy für Beau Bridges.
Der Regisseur: Joe Dante
