Head of State

When Washington desperately needs a presidential candidate just weeks before the election, they need someone sure to lose.

They pick Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock), an unknown local politician from a down-and-out D.C. neighbourhood, to be their puppet.

But if Mays is going to run, he's going to have fun. He's bringing in his brother Mitch (Bernie Mac), a hardcore bail bondsman, as his running mate and turning his campaign into party central. Now, Gilliam's gaining in the polls and on his way to making history.

Comedian Chris Rock writes, directs and stars in the hit comedy from Capitol Hill that proves an underdog can become top dog and that the real power in Washington is a lot of laughs.
