A biographical comedy-drama in the irreverent spirit of Adam McKay, charting the wild true story of Norman Mailer’s outsider bid for New York City mayor. Running on the audacious platform that the city should become America’s 51st state, Mailer turns the race into a full-blown circus of ego, spectacle, and chaos. Told through the sardonic eyes of his campaign manager Joe Flaherty, the film captures the loudest, most unhinged campaign the city had ever seen.
