Synopsis
Silver City (2004), directed by John Sayles, is a political satire you can watch online on iFILM. A body turns up in a Colorado lake, and a frontrunning gubernatorial candidate's campaign team would very much prefer it had not.
The candidate himself is a genial, stumbling figure whose every word comes from a handler played by Richard Dreyfuss. To contain the damage, they hire ex-journalist Danny O'Brien (Danny Huston) for a quiet background check. O'Brien starts following the money and finds construction deals, buried records, and familiar names in inconvenient places. Chris Cooper, Tim Roth, Maria Bello, Daryl Hannah, and Kris Kristofferson fill a cast built for ensemble work rather than star turns.
Sayles made Silver City during the 2004 U.S. presidential cycle and aimed every scene at it. The machine he describes has barely aged. Stream Silver City online on iFILM.
