One of the best movies to come out of the 1980's. A working class hero comes out of nowhere to run for the senate and then the presidency. Only Chris Walken can 'see' the real man behind the facade. A psychotic man filled with delusions of grandeur. Although the presidential candidate was based partly based on Nixon in the book. The movie made the candidate seem more like Reagan. I am not saying that reagan was psychotic but he did have delusions of grandeur. And delusions that ultimately became reality! The movie symbolized the ear;y 1980's. A country lost, searching for leader, and finds one in filled with dreams...and little else! I assume stephen king did not like nixon or reagan
Great film with outstanding performances by all involved.
