Based on the book by Marshall Frady, this epic bio directed by the legendary John Frankenheimer, stars Gary Sinise as the infamous politician and segregationist George Wallace. Many have portrayed Wallace as a racist but Frankenheimer's film suggests that it was his lust for power and status that made him bedfellows with racists and one of the most destructive and most hated American politicians of his time.
