About Bob Roberts
Millionaire conservative Bob Roberts launches an insurgent campaign against incumbent senator Brickley Paiste, firing up crowds at his rallies by singing '60s-style acoustic folk songs with lyrics espousing far-right conservative social and economic views.
Directed by Tim Robbins, Bob Roberts leans on a strong ensemble — Tim Robbins, Giancarlo Esposito, Alan Rickman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1992.
