The Campaign is so obvious in its intent that, within the movie’s brief runtime, two characters are able to lament that “Big Money” controls the government. It concerns a pair of Congressional candidates from North Carolina—both of whom are almost criminally unfit for office—one of which is funded by the shadowy, money hungry Motch Brothers (John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd), who hope to use their seat in congress to get the ball rolling on something they call “insourcing,” the importing of Chinese labor and regulations to American factories, to double their already stupendous profits.
