Academy Award winners Sandra Bullock (“The Blind Side”)
and Billy Bob Thornton (“Sling Blade”) star in “Our Brand is
Crisis,” from director David Gordon Green (“Pineapple Express,”
“George Washington”) and producers Grant Heslov
and George Clooney, the Oscar-winning producers of “Argo.”
A Bolivian presidential candidate failing badly in the polls enlists the
firepower of an elite American management team, led by the deeply
damaged but still brilliant strategist “Calamity” Jane Bodine (Bullock).
In self-imposed retirement following a scandal that earned her nickname
and rocked her to her core, Jane is coaxed back into the game for
the chance to beat her professional nemesis, the loathsome Pat Candy
(Thornton), now coaching the opposition.
But as Candy zeroes in on every vulnerability – both on and off the
campaign trail – Jane is plunged into a personal crisis as intense as the
one her team exploits nationally to boost their numbers. Dramatic,
rapid-fire and laced with satire, “Our Brand is Crisis” reveals the cynical
machinations and private battles of world-class political consultants for
whom nothing is sacred and winning is all that matters.
The drama also stars Anthony Mackie (“Captain America: The Winter
Soldier”), Joaquim de Almeida (“Fast Five”), Ann Dowd (“Side Effects,”
HBO’s “The Leftovers”), Scoot McNairy (“Gone Girl,” “Argo”), Zoe Kazan
(“Ruby Sparks”), and Reynaldo Pacheco (“Beginners”).

(“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”), suggested by the documentary by Rachel
Boynton, which outlined the American political campaign marketing
tactics employed in the real-life 2002 Bolivian presidential election.
Sandra Bullock, Stuart Besser, and Participant Media’s Jeff Skoll and
Jonathan King are the executive producers.
