Election
Election is a 1999 American satirical black comedy film directed by Alexander Payne from a screenplay by Payne and Jim Taylor, based on Tom Perrotta's 1998 novel.
Plot
Jim McAllister is a U.S. history and civics teacher at George Washington Carver High School in Omaha, Nebraska. One of his students is Tracy Flick, an overachieving junior whose mother Judith encourages her to strive for success. Earlier in the year, McAllister's colleague and best friend, geometry teacher Dave Novotny, was fired from his job and divorced by his wife Linda after engaging in a sexual relationship with Tracy. While McAllister agreed Dave needed to suffer consequences, he resents the lack of repercussions for Tracy, as well as her overenthusiastic nature and Judith's coddling of her.
