Mandžurski kandidat

Slovenski opis filma:

Bena Marca po prihodu iz zalivske vojne preganjajo more o tem, da naj bi bil bodoči ameriški podpredsednik samo lutka v rokah mogočne korporacije. In izkaže se, da njegove sanje niso daleč od resničnosti... Zgodba se začne med zalivsko vojno, kjer mladi narednik Raymond Shaw reši vojaško enoto, za kar mu v kongresu podelijo častno medaljo. Nekaj let kasneje se Shaw že vzpenja po politični lestvici in postane kandidat za podpredsednika na prihajajočih volitvah. Marca medtem čedalje bolj mučijo nočne more o dogodkih iz Kuvajta, ki so drugačni, kot se jih spominja. In tudi Shaw je imel v njih drugačno vlogo.

Originalni opis filma:

When his army unit was ambushed during the first Gulf War, Sergeant Raymond Shaw saved his fellow soldiers just as his commanding officer, then-Captain Ben Marco, was knocked unconscious. Brokering the incident for political capital, Shaw eventually becomes a vice-presidential nominee, while Marco is haunted by dreams of what happened -- or didn't happen -- in Kuwait. As Marco (now a Major) investigates, the story begins to unravel, to the point where he questions if it happened at all. Is it possible the entire unit was kidnapped and brainwashed to believe Shaw is a war hero as part of a plot to seize the White House? Some very powerful people at Manchurian Global corporation appear desperate to stop him from finding out.
