Storyline
When an earnest young man is unexpectedly appointed to the U.S. Senate, he arrives in Washington full of patriotic ideals—only to discover a web of political corruption waiting for him. As he uncovers a scheme involving graft and backroom deals, he takes a stand that culminates in one of cinema’s most famous filibusters. Frank Capra’s classic remains a defining exploration of American democracy, integrity, and the power of an individual voice against entrenched systems.Running time: 2 hours 9 minutes
