Election

A high school teacher meets his match in an over-achieving student politician.

Details

In the 1999 film Election, a high school teacher named Jim McAllister finds himself facing an unexpected challenge when an ambitious and over-achieving student named Tracy Flick decides to run for student body president. Jim, who is also the faculty adviser for the student government, initially supports Tracy's opponent, a popular and well-liked athlete named Paul Metzler.

As the election campaign progresses, Jim becomes increasingly irritated by Tracy's relentless determination to win at any cost, which includes manipulating her classmates and the faculty to achieve her goals. Determined to stop Tracy's ascent to power, Jim comes up with a plan to sabotage her campaign. However, his well-intentioned efforts quickly spiral out of control, leading to disastrous consequences.

While Election may seem like a typical high school comedy on the surface, it delves deep into themes of ambition, power dynamics, and the consequences of manipulating others for personal gain. With a brilliant cast including Matthew Broderick as Jim McAllister and Reese Witherspoon as Tracy Flick, the film skillfully explores the dark side of ambition and the universal human drive to succeed. Directed by Alexander Payne, Election received critical acclaim for its sharp writing, dark humor, and insightful commentary on the nature of power struggles.
