Wag the Dog is a 1997 dark comedy/political satire about a POTUS accused of sexual misconduct shortly before voting day. To bury the scandal, a fake war with Albania is invented. A White House aide (Anne Heche), political fixer (Robert DeNiro), and Hollywood producer (Dustin Hoffman) work together to pull off a phony conflict to distract the American public.

And, of course, it works.

⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
