[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: Who plays the role 'Bobby'? Lee Aaker
****
[A]: Doug and Helen Stilwin (Barry Sullivan and Barbara Stanwyck) along with their son Bobby (Lee Aaker) embark on a vacation into desolate Baja California in Mexico to a remote, deserted fishing spot along the coast that her father used to frequent with his old military buddies. At a roadside barricade heading into the Baja outback, they are inspected by police but are not told about an American killer who has escaped from prison and is at large in the area.Upon arrival at the secret fishing spot, young Bobby goes exploring out onto a precarious, rotting jetty high above the water. His foot gets stuck in a crack between boards, and when Doug gets him out, the jetty collapses and a wooden piling falls on Doug's leg and traps him on the beach just as the tide is coming in. Helen nearly succeeds in lifting the piling with their car jack, until the jack breaks. They quickly determine that if Doug is not freed within a few hours, he will drown in the rising surf.Helen leaves with the family car in an attempt to find help. She comes across a family of Mexican ranchers, but the language barrier prevents them from realizing that she is looking for rope until she is far gone. Helen then comes across a small house and finds rope, but seemingly out of nowhere, a man (Ralph Meeker) appears. Helen asks for help and the man gets in the car, but around the corner of the house, it is revealed that the man just killed a worker, and is the fugitive, Lawson, the police are looking for. He takes her hostage, and threatens to kill her if she reveals to the police that he is the fugitive.Meanwhile, the rising tide back at the jetty causes Doug to have a heart-to-heart with Bobby, telling him he is proud of his son and hopes he will face the challenges ahead with strength. A boat passes close to their location, and shouts are exchanged, but thinking the family is just tourists on a beach outing, the boat crew does not stop.Lawson runs through a police roadblock, and eventually blows out a tire. As he attempts to change the tire,...

[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: What character is described as thinly veiled caricature of Bill Clinton? Jack Stanton
****
[A]: Well acted drama, adapted from a novel by Joe Klein; has a terrific first half and then falters horribly in the final half hour- almost completely killing the entire movie. Travolta is dead-on as southern Governor Jack Stanton (a thinly veiled charicature of Bill Clinton), who is running for President. The film is shown from the perspective of a young, African-American man named Henry Burton, who is Stantons campaign manager. Through his eyes we spend intimate moments with the candidate, his wife and family and the various people working on his campaign. We also meet the other contenders for the office and get a rare inside glimpse of politics at work, which can be a ruthless and conniving game. Its fascinating material and the film hits the ground running, using a mostly good natured, humorous approach. The campaign must deal with the various and not unusual attacks by the opponents and must constantly dream up new strategies and schemes. Billy Bob Thornton is the man in charge of that department and he is all aces as Richard Jemmons, a ruthless, foul mouthed PR man. When even he cant refute some of the attacks on Stantons character (like an alleged affair with a hairdresser), Mrs. Stanton turns to Libby Holden (a terrific Kathy Bates). Libbys a quirky and unstable (shes been recently released from a mental hospital) defender of the Governor; whos reckless tactics actually get results. But she has a strict moral code that none of the others operate by. She will only go so far- and while she will defend attacks from other candidates she refuses to dig up dirt to attack another candidate first. It turns out that Governor Stanton is a genius player of the political game but also a tremendous philanderer who just may have had an affair with a 17 year old African-American girl and gotten her pregnant. Through some slick manipulation, he is able to disprove this. Then one of his opponents suffers a paralyzing series of heart attacks and is out of the race only to be replaced by a seemingly impeccable do-gooder. It...
