The Front Runner Trailer

Jason Reitman‘s The Front Runner (2018) movie trailer stars Hugh Jackman, Vera Farming, J.K. Simmons, Alfred Molina, and Steve Zissis. The Front Runner‘s plot synopsis: based on the book by Matt Bai, “Oscar nominee Hugh Jackman stars as the charismatic politician Gary Hart for Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman in the new thrilling drama The Front Runner. The film follows the rise and fall of Senator Hart, who captured the imagination of young voters and was considered the overwhelming front runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination when his campaign was sidelined by the story of an extramarital relationship with Donna Rice. As tabloid journalism and political journalism merged for the first time, Senator Hart was forced to drop out of the race — events that left a profound and lasting impact on American politics and the world stage.

Here are the other key people in this film and who is portraying them:
