The Ides of March

THE IDES OF MARCH takes place during the frantic last days before a heavily contested Ohio presidential primary, when an up-and-coming campaign press secretary (Ryan Gosling) finds himself involved in a political scandal that threatens to upend his candidate's (George Clooney) shot at the presidency. With sharp, quick-witted dialogue set against the spectacle of modern world power and politics, this is an intense tale of sex, ambition, loyalty, betrayal and revenge. Also starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.
