- Original title
- In the Loop
- Storyline
- When a UK minister accidentally supports war on TV, he’s swept into Washington politics, trying to stop a conflict he doesn’t believe in. With a lone aide, a sharp-tongued spin doctor, and chaotic backchannel deals, diplomacy turns into a dark comedy of errors as they scramble to block war—and maybe fire someone they never liked anyway.
