Bobby

Drama
USA  /  English

Written and directed by Emilio Estevez, the film Bobby tells the story of the day that Bobby Kennedy, a Presidential candidate and younger brother of JFK, was shot and killed at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Although the political backdrop and events of that day are clearly factual, the majority of the film consists of the interweaving stories of a number of fictional characters who were at the hotel on that day in 1968. From various hotel employees, to celebrities, campaign donors and socialites, and teenagers trying to avoid the Vietnam draft, the large cast includes a number of Hollywood heavy weights. The huge cast includes Sir Anthony Hopkins as a retired hotel doorman, Martin Sheen and Helen Hunt as a wealthy married couple who are Kennedy donors, William H. Macy as the hotel manager, and Demi Moore and Emilio Estevez as a married celebrity couple. Laurence Fishburne, Lindsay Lohan and Sharon Stone also help round out the fantastic ensemble cast.
