Andrew
Shepherd
(Michael
Douglas)
is a
handsome,
youthful
widower
and
a
dedicated
Democrat
raising
a
teenage
daughter.
He
also
just
happens
to
be
the
president
of
the
United
States
of
America,
and
a
very
popular
one
at
that.
Unfortunately,
he’s
also
quite
lonely,
and
the
life
of a
president
leaves
little
time
for
dating.
But
when
he
meets
luminous
lobbyist
Sydney
Ellen
Wade
(Annette
Bening),
he's
instantly
smitten
and
impulsively
(and
somewhat
awkwardly)
asks
her
out
to a
state
dinner.
Shocked
and
highly
uncertain
of
what
she's
getting
into,
Sydney
accepts
his
invitation,
and
the
courting
process
begins--to
the
unrelenting
delight
of
the
media.
The
chief
executive's
protective
staff,
however,
isn't
so
sure
the
romance
is a
good
thing,
particularly
when
political
paparazzi
capture
Sydney
spending
the
night
in
the
presidential
bedroom.
While
intriguing
to
the
press,
the
affair
spells
trouble
in
the
form
of
Republican
presidential
hopeful
Bob
Rumson
(Richard
Dreyfuss),
who
uses
the
romance
to
attack
Shepherd's
supposed
lack
of
family
values
and
moral
instincts.
Rumson's
ploy
works--Shepherd's
popularity
plummets,
weakening
his
reelection
bid,
his
hand
on
Capitol
Hill,
and
ultimately
threatening
his
relationship
with
Sydney.
If
Shepherd
salvages
his
political
career,
will
it
be
at
the
expense
of
Sydney's
love.
