Wag the Dog (1997) unfolds just days before a crucial election, as a political scandal threatens to derail the President's re-election campaign. In response, a seasoned political consultant, Conrad Brean (ROBERT DeNIRO), is summoned to the White House. Known for his exceptional skill in manipulating public perception, Brean swiftly shifts the media's focus away from the scandal by fabricating a fictional war. Collaborating with Stanley Motss (DUSTIN HOFFMAN), a renowned Hollywood producer, and his eccentric crew, Brean crafts a media spectacle that captivates the nation. This satirical film delves into the blurred boundaries between politics, media, and entertainment, offering a sharp commentary on the power of perception and manipulation in modern society.
