In a performance both volatile and graceful, Al Pacino reteams with Sea Of Love director Harold Becker as
New York Mayor John Pappas in City Hall, a savvy thriller that's the first film ever shot inside the lower Manhattan structure
that's ground zero for city's government. That and other NYC locations provide the vivid settings as an idealistic mayoral
aide (John Cusack) follows a trial of subversion and cover-up that may loop back to the man he serves and reveres. Bridget
Fonda, Danny Aiello, Martin Landau, Tony Franciosa and David Paymer add more starry brilliance to this gripping tale of power.
And the power behind the power.
