Plot summary
The film follows the title character, California Senator Jay Billington Bulworth (played by Beatty), as he runs for re-election. After staying up for multiple days during a nervous breakdown, Bulworth takes out a murder-for-hire contract on himself. After this episode, since he has nothing left to live for, Bullworth begins an unorthodox political campaign, rapping and pointing out how little the people really matter to everyday politicians and touching upon issues such as racism, politicians playing the media, corporate-controlled government and even hints at campaign finance reform. Bulworth then takes off in the polls and decides to live. Unfortunately, he can't get the hit called off.See also
