Robert and Elizabeth (Napoleon's World)

Robert and Elizabeth is a 1999 American drama film directed by Luther Coyles and starring an all-star ensemble cast of Jim Ames, Lucy Cook, Peter Dempsey, Jack O'Neill, James Cromwell, James Hadley, Ryan Sturgis, Kathleen Clark, and Stuart Callahan. The film is about the rivalry and later friendship between former US Presidents Elizabeth Shannon and Robert Redford and their relationship from their initial head-butting in the 1980 Presidential campaign, over the eight years of Shannon's Presidency and in Redford's own four-year term. The film won a slew of Academy Awards and was universally praised, but was upset for Best Picture by Sebastien, a similarly high-billed ensemble historical drama.
