"The British Prime Minister and the President of the United States think that the best thing for both countries would be a war against the Middle East, and now it's up to the military generals and PR people on both sides of the Atlantic to stop this before it escalates out of control. Bonus features include deleted scenes and IFC exclusive material."@en
"Political satire finds the British Minister for International Development landing in the media spotlight after casually remarking that war in the Middle East is unforeseeable, which sets off a chain of political maneuvers by both American and British pro-war and anti-war factions."@en
"Wanneer de president van de Verenigde Staten en de premier van Groot-Brittannië aansturen op een oorlog in het Midden-Oosten wenden voor- en tegenstanders onder politici, ambtenaren en legerleiding alle methodes aan om hun zin te krijgen."
"A comedy that draws on non-specific events to create a world that is terrifyingly familiar: The US President and UK Prime Minister fancy a war, but not everyone agrees that war is a good thing. US General Miller (James Gandolfini) certainly doesn't think so and neither does the British Secretary of State for International Development, Simon Foster (Tom Hollander). But when the mild-mannered minister inadvertently appears to back the war on prime-time television, he immediately attracts the attention of the PM's venomously aggressive communications chief Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi), who latches onto him like a hawk. Soon, the British are in Washington, where diplomatic relations collide with trans-Atlantic spin doctors and Foster's off-hand remark quickly spirals into an insurmountable mountain of conflict."@en

""Après s'être fourvoyé en ondes en déclarant "imprévisible" la possibilité d'une guerre entre les États-Unis et le Moyen-Orient, Simon Foster, ministre du Développement international du gouvernement britannique, est rappelé à l'ordre par le directeur des communications du premier ministre. Afin de limiter les dégâts et de racheter sa bourde, Simon est envoyé à Washington, où il est pris à partie par Karen Clarke, une diplomate haut placée qui s'oppose à la guerre que fomente Linton Barwick, un puissant collègue. Après vingt-quatre heures désastreuses passées dans les alentours du Capitole, le ministre et son assistant rentrent à Londres où de nouveaux ennuis les attendent. Dépêché à l'ONU, Simon réalise que la guerre est inévitable, même qu'elle est souhaitée par son gouvernement. Écoeuré, il décide de démissionner, mais cette simple manoeuvre s'avère, à l'instar du reste, très complexe." [(c) Médiafilm] [SDM]."
"La jaquette indique : "Entre Londres et Washington, les gouvernements britannique et américain se livrent à de folles tractations dans la dernière ligne droite avant une possible invasion de l'Irak. Dans une interview, l'ambitieux mais maladroit ministre britannique du développement international, Simon Foster, commet une gaffe qui va provoquer un vent de panique dans les arcanes du pouvoir et des médias, des deux côtés de l'Atlantique, à l'approche d'un vote décisif à l'ONU...""
"The US President and UK Prime Minister fancy a war, but not everyone agrees that war is a good thing."
"When Britain's Secretary Of State For International Development Simon Foster states, in the midst of a radio interview, that a war in the Middle East in "unforeseeable," it doesn't follow his government's "line" on events. The problem is that war is not unforeseeable, what with America itching to invade somewhere in the Middle East and the British government loyally following. Unfortunately, Foster suspects nothing about the firestorm to follow. By the next day, Foster is the target of the Prime Minister's director of communications Malcolm Tucker, and the focus of attention for anti-war American diplomat Karen Clarke. After US General George Miller and State Department hawk Linton Barwick jump into the mix, Foster's mountain of an ill-chosen remark turns into a series of festering molehills. In the end, one thing is clear: grave matters involving global power cannot be separated from the pettiness of democratic governance, which is impelled by careerism, vanity, moral compromise and--at least in London--by ear-singeing profanity."

The US General Miller doesn't think so and neither does the British Secretary of State for International Development, Simon Foster. But, after Simon accidentally backs military action on TV, he suddenly has a lot of friends in Washington, DC. If Simon can get in with the right DC people, if his entourage of one can sleep with the right intern, and if they can both stop the Prime Minister's chief spin-doctor Malcolm Tucker rigging the vote at the UN, they can halt the war."--Producers."@en

"The British Prime Minister and the U.S. President infer that they want to embark on a war in the Middle East. Simon Foster, the British Minister for International Development states, off the cuff, in a radio interview that 'war is unforeseeable.' He later tries to recant his statement to news reporters with another statement. Both remarks start a series of manoeuvrings on both sides by both the pro- and anti-war factions in both governments. U.S. Assistant Secretary for Diplomacy Karen Clarke and U.S. Lieutenant General George Miller lead the anti-war faction, against chief warmonger Linton Barwick. Each principle with their staff, some of whom do not agree with their political master, will do whatever he or she needs to to achieve the desired end goal. This includes having fake meetings, having fake committees, spinning information, leaking information and documents, and doctoring documents. These manoeuvrings are most important in the lead up to the UN vote on the issue."@en
"Todo empieza cuando el Presidente de los Estados Unidos y el Primer Ministro británico deciden iniciar una guerra. Esta vez prometen ser rápidos. Promesa que ni el general estadounidense Miller ni el Secretario de Estado británico para el desarrollo internacional, Simon Foster, creen. Pero, después de que Simon respaldara accidentalmente la acción militar en horario de máxima audiencia en la televisión, se gana sin quererlo muchos amigos en Washington."
