Movie Synopsis
In 2006, New York Congressman David Norris (Matt Damon) runs a promising but ultimately unsuccessful campaign for United States Senate. While rehearsing his concession speech in a hotel bathroom, Norris meets a woman (Emily Blunt) hiding in a stall. The two share a surprisingly enjoyable conversation, ultimately leading to a kiss. Inspired, David goes off script and delivers a stark and honest speech, which is extremely well-received.
One year later, Norris is privately employed and preparing to run for Senate in 2010. In a park near David's house, Harry Mitchell (Anthony Mackie) receives an assignment from his boss: ensure Norris spills coffee on his shirt by 7:05 AM; shortly thereafter he falls asleep while waiting and misses David, who boards a bus. On the bus David encounters Elise, the woman from the bathroom, who gives him her phone number. When Norris arrives at work he finds his coworkers immobile and his boss (and campaign manager) Charlie Traynor (Michael Kelly) being examined by unfamiliar men in suits. The men give chase, and eventually David is incapacitated and taken to a warehouse, where he is told what is happening.
