Tim Robbins stars in his directorial debut as right-wing folksinger Bob Roberts in this satirical mockumentary.

Bob Roberts is joined on his Pennsylvania senatorial campaign trail by a British documentary filmmaker who offers insight into Roberts, his staff, and his supporters. Roberts is the anti-Bob Dylan, wowing his supporters with tunes such as "Times Are Changin' Back" and "Wall Street Rap." With his clean-cut good looks and squeaky-clean image, Roberts appears as American as apple pie. Yet, like most politicians, he harbors some nasty secrets, including potential involvement in illegal drug trafficking and bank scandals. And like most politicians, he is a master at manipulating the media. Roberts's political trickery turns serious when an innocent man is accused of attempting to assassinate the candidate.

Interestingly, Tim Robbins made a short film sketch of the Bob Roberts character for Saturday Night Live before embarking on this project.
