The American President

1995PG-13113 min6.9/10

When President Andrew Shepherd falls in love with Sydney Wade, an environmental lobbyist, he must overcome obstacles not faced by average citizens. He must worry that the public's right to know will collide with the desire for personal privacy. He must contend with approval ratings, an inquiring press and an aggressive political opponent just to go on a date. The President's advisors, chief of staff, domestic policy advisor, White House pollster and press secretary help him get through his busy schedule, deal with demands of congress and quell any global predicaments. But political crises are different than personal ones and somehow the American President alone must find a way to balance his love for his country with his love for an incredible woman.
