When his army unit was ambushed during the first Gulf War, Sergeant Raymond Shaw saved his fellow soldiers just as his commanding officer, then-Captain Ben Marco, was knocked unconscious. Brokering the incident for political capital, Shaw eventually becomes a vice-presidential nominee, while Marco is haunted by dreams of what happened -- or didn't happen -- in Kuwait. As Marco (now a Major) investigates, the story begins to unravel, to the point where he questions if it happened at all. Is it possible the entire unit was kidnapped and brainwashed to believe Shaw is a war hero as part of a plot to seize the White House? Some very powerful people at Manchurian Global corporation appear desperate to stop him from finding out. 傀儡?。迷乱的神经。关于正义。结局。《满洲候选人》:乏力的绵软批判。短评写着写着就长了。从阴谋论说起。对结局有点困惑。至少还有亮点可看。保持清醒。 荣获了诸多荣誉和奖章的本·马高(丹泽尔·华盛顿 Denzel Washington 饰)当年曾是一名海军陆战队上尉,第一次海湾战争期间,他所在的小分队夜晚执行搜查任务时遭到伏击,凭借战友雷蒙德·萧中士(利夫·史列巴 Liev Schreiber 饰)的机智与果敢,整个小 队最终化 险为夷,失去知觉的本也多亏雷蒙德才死里逃生。十年后,本在无数个场合讲过这段过去,并大力盛赞雷蒙德的果敢。由于战争期间的出色表现,雷蒙德的仕途一片光明,在参议院的母亲伊丽娜(梅丽尔·斯特里普 Meryl Streep 饰)的协助下,他如今已然成为副总统的候选人。然而就在此时,本却倍感焦虑,在他的心中不断质疑着当年发生的一切,似乎那晚的袭击事件有着另一个不为人知的版本…… 本片根据1962年约翰·弗兰克海默的同名经典影片改编。
