W.

W. is a biographical drama about George W. Bush, tracing his life from his youth in Texas through his marriage to Laura, his struggles with alcohol, his turn to faith, and his rise in politics. The film also looks at the pressure he faced in the days before deciding to invade Iraq, and at the advisers who shaped his presidency, including Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Karl Rove and Condoleezza Rice. It was written by Stanley Weiser and directed by Oliver Stone.

Released in October 2008, the film came out while Bush was still in office. It is the sixteenth of the twenty-two films Stone has directed in chronological order, following World Trade Center and preceding Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. Josh Brolin plays Bush, with Toby Jones as Karl Rove, Jeffrey Wright as Colin Powell, Thandiwe Newton as Condoleezza Rice, and Dennis Boutsikaris as Paul Wolfowitz. The production cost about 25 million dollars, and the worldwide box office came to roughly 30 million.

On IMDb and TMDB, audience scores sit around six out of ten, and the critics' rating is close to that level as well. The figures suggest a modest, mixed reception rather than a strong one, and the box office result points to a film that drew limited interest relative to its cost. The cast of fifty-nine credited performers and a substantial crew indicate a sizeable production for its budget.
