SYNOPSIS

Hugh Jackman stars as the politician Gary Hart in the drama THE FRONT RUNNER directed by Jason Reitman.  The film follows the rise and fall of Senator Hart, who captured the imagination of young voters and was considered the overwhelming front runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination when his campaign was sidelined by the story of an extramarital relationship with Donna Rice. As tabloid journalism and political journalism merged for the first time, Senator Hart was forced to drop out of the race – events that left a profound and lasting impact on American politics and the world stage.  Also starring Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons and Alfred Molina, THE FRONT FUNNER is written by Matt Bai & Jay Carson & Jason Reitman, based on the book All the Truth is Out by Matt Bai, and produced by Jason Reitman, p.g.a., Helen Estabrook, p.g.a. and Aaron L. Gilbert, p.g.a.
