In the game of politics, somebody has to lose. Veteran politician Mayor John Pappas (Al Pacino) and idealist Deputy Mayor Kevin Calhoun (John Cusack) are masters at the art of compromise, back room politics and brokering the deals that keep the city running like clockwork. They thought nothing could stop the power machine they so carefully built. But when a drug bust gone awry causes the accidental death of an innocent child, Calhoun and a suspicious attorney (Bridget Fonda) uncover a scandal that links the Mafia directly to the Mayor's office. A scandal that could bring down the most powerful man in the city. City Hall is an explosive and provocative political thriller superbly directed by Harold Becker (Sea Of Love, Malice). It's a compelling story where consciousness and compromise are in constant conflict, and wher winner takes all.
