Feature-length BBC drama depicting the relationships between former British prime minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) and American president Bill Clinton (Dennis Quaid). Set in the pre-9/11 years from 1994 to 2001, the film focuses on the international presence of Blair in relation to his American ally. While Clinton is almost toppled from power by the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Blair continues to strengthen his position, moving seamlessly from being Clinton's acolyte to his equal, and eventually his moral superior in the aftermath of Kosovo.
