The life of George W. Bush is documented in this film with Josh Brolin playing the title role. The story examines Dubya's somewhat checkered past–from his days as a student at Yale, to his early years involved with alcohol, his courtship of Laura (Elizabeth Banks), and then his new world of sobriety and Christianity. Director Oliver Stone presents his version of Bush's presidency as Dubya having psychological problems following his father George H.W. Bush's (James Cromwell) loss to Bill Clinton, and now, as President, Dubya seeking to regain the family honor.
