"All the Way" is a biographical drama film based on the play of the same name by Robert Schenkkan. The story primarily revolves around Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States, and his eventful tenure starting from the moment he assumes presidency in November 1963 after John F. Kennedy's assassination.
The film delves into the intense political and personal challenges faced by Johnson during his first year in office. Determined to continue the legacy of Kennedy, Johnson embarks on an ambitious journey to pass the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. Faced with opposition from both sides of the political spectrum, including staunch segregationists from his own Democratic Party, Johnson utilizes his political savvy and persuasive skills to rally support for the bill.
Throughout the film, Johnson's personal and professional relationships are explored. He engages in tense negotiations with civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., who are advocating for comprehensive civil rights legislation. Simultaneously, Johnson navigates the complicated dynamics within his own administration, forging alliances and making calculated decisions to secure the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
As Johnson faces mounting pressure and obstacles, the film also touches upon his own presidential campaign for the 1964 election. Johnson's determination to prove himself as a legitimate leader and shed the label of an "accidental President" becomes a central theme. The campaign culminates on the night of the election, with Johnson successfully securing his own mandate for the presidency, no longer merely in the shadow of his predecessor.
"All the Way" is a compelling portrayal of Johnson's pivotal year in office, highlighting his resilience and political skill in overcoming obstacles to enact significant civil rights reforms while also navigating the complexities of political power.
