The American President, produced and directed by Rob Reiner and written by Aaron Sorkin, stars Michael Douglas as President Andrew Shepherd, a widower who pursues a relationship with environmental lobbyist Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening) – who has just moved to Washington, D.C. – while at the same time attempting to win the passage of a crime control bill during a re-election year. Martin Sheen, Michael J. Fox, and Richard Dreyfuss star in supporting roles.  The screenplay for the film inspired many aspects of Sorkin's later television drama, The West Wing. The two productions follow the staff of a largely idealized White House and share ideologies like many of Sorkin's projects.
