Starring
Reese Witherspoon, Matthew Broderick, Chris Klein

Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon stars as Tracy Flick, a straight-A go-getter determined to be president of Carver High's student body in this satirical comedy.

Matthew Broderick stars as popular teacher Jim McAllister who decides to derail Tracy's obsessive overachieving by recruiting an opposition candidate as her perfection offends McAllister's sense of democracy (not to mention the fact he doesn't like her very much). Mr M never imagines that stopping Tracy is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube.

Support cast includes Chris Klein, Jessica Campbell and Colleen Camp. Based on the novel by Tom Perrotta, Election was directed by Alexander Payne, who won enthusiastic reviews for his debut feature, Citizen Ruth.
