When his army unit is ambushed during the first Gulf War, Sergeant Raymond Shaw saves his fellow soldiers just as his commanding officer, Major Ben Marco, is knocked unconscious. Using the incident for political gain, Shaw eventually becomes a vice-presidential nominee, but Marco is haunted by dreams of what really happened in Iraq. As Marco investigates, the story begins to unravel. He begins to figure that the entire unit was kidnapped and brainwashed as part of a plot to get Shaw into the White House. Now the Manchurian Global corporation appears desperate to stop him from finding out.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Manchurian Candidate submitted by SBNB on June 23, 2015, 1:20pm This was a good movie. It kept me entertained almost right from the beginning to the very end. (The beginning had a lot of military stuff and shooting, which I find boring.) This is fiction, but American government corruption is not.
