A biopic about the career and life of George H. W. Bush. The film begins in 1979 as Bush runs a campaign for President of the United States. Bush agrees to debate with front-runner, Governor of California, Ronald Reagan. Reagan continued to clear a path to the White House when he famously stated during the debate, "I am paying for this microphone". Bush was appointed as Reagan's Vice President nominee, and after winning the election, became Reagan's official Vice President. On March 30, 1981, Reagan was shot in an assassination attempt; Bush was prepared to take over the duties of President, but Reagan recovered within 2 weeks. In 1984, Reagan and Bush successfully defeated Walter Mondale in order to serve a 2nd term. On July 13, 1985, Bush served as acting President for eight hours while Reagan underwent surgery. The film then spends a large amount of time on the 1986 Iran-Contra Affair, where the Reagan administration secretly arranged weapon sales to Iran. In 1987, Bush announced he was going to run for President of the United States. After months of back-and-forth with U.S Senator, Bob Dole, Bush finally became the front-runner of the Republican party. Bush nominated U.S Senator, Dan Quayle, to serve as his Vice President nominee. Bush famously stated at the Republican National Convention, "Read my lips: no new taxes". TheDemocratic nominee, Michael Dukakis, was seen as soft on crime, and Bush was able to defeat him in one of the dirtiest Presidential elections of all time. The film then fast forwards a couple years into the Bush presidency. The Gulf War undergoes, and the Bush administration sits back as Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm takes place. Bush's approval rates sky-rocket after the successful offense of the Persian Gulf War. The film ends as an aged Bush is sitting in the crowd for his son, George W. Bush's, inauguration for President in 2001.
