Bob Roberts is a 1992 American satirical mockumentary film written, directed by, and starring Tim Robbins. It tells the story of a right-wing folk singer turned politician who runs for the United States Senate.
The film is presented as a documentary made by a British filmmaker following Roberts' campaign. As Roberts gains popularity with his conservative views and catchy songs, questions arise about his true intentions and the manipulation of the media to shape public opinion.
Bob Roberts explores themes of political corruption, media manipulation, and the power of celebrity in politics. It serves as a critique of the rise of populist figures and the dangers of blindly following charismatic leaders.
The film features a talented ensemble cast, including Alan Rickman, Giancarlo Esposito, and Ray Wise. Its blend of humor and social commentary makes it a thought-provoking and relevant watch, even decades after its release.
