Summary of In the Loop

A number of heavy dramas--including LIONS FOR LAMBS and IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH--have addressed the wars in the Middle East, but IN THE LOOP takes a different approach: comedy. Though the American president and the British prime minister are itching to attack, a top U.S. general (James Gandolfini) and the British Secretary of State for International Development (Tom Hollander) believe that’s the wrong decision. However, a small miscommunication has the two powers ready to go to war, and it’s up to the British pol to stop things before they get started. This pointed political satire also stars Gina McKee, Chris Addison, and Steve Coogan.
