Mister America is a mockumentary film that follows Tim Heidecker as he runs for district attorney in San Bernardino County, California. Heidecker's character is a parody of himself, as he is portrayed as a clueless and self-absorbed individual who is completely unqualified for the position he is seeking.
The film is presented as a documentary that follows Heidecker's campaign from start to finish, capturing his interactions with voters, campaign staff, and the media. Throughout the film, Heidecker's incompetence and lack of understanding of the political process are on full display, leading to a series of comedic and absurd situations.
As Heidecker's campaign progresses, it becomes clear that he is not only unqualified for the position of district attorney, but also that he is using the campaign as a platform to settle personal scores and seek revenge on those who have wronged him in the past.
Mister America is a satirical take on American politics and the cult of personality that often surrounds political figures. The film uses humor and absurdity to critique the current state of politics and the ways in which individuals with no qualifications or experience can rise to positions of power.
