Small-time con man Thomas Jefferson Johnson (Eddie Murphy) uses his street smarts to get elected to Congress in a get-rich-quick scheme, but soon learns that it’s filled with scam artists who make him look like a small fry. Can Johnson change his ways and change the way government works? A hilarious, often touching farce in the Frank Capra style, co-starring Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lane Smith, and Grant Shaud. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital Surround, French Dolby Digital stereo; theatrical trailer.
