About the film

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. The plot revolves around a student body election and satirizes politics and high school life. The film stars Matthew Broderick as Jim McAllister, a popular high school social studies teacher, and Reese Witherspoon as Tracy Flick, a high-achieving student whom he dislikes. When Tracy runs for student government president, McAllister attempts to sabotage her candidacy by encouraging a rival candidate. Election was released by Paramount Pictures on April 23, 1999.
