'The contender', 'All the presidents men', 'Air force one'.
Political thrillers are very similar to the normal thriller genre the difference is, it includes involvement of political differences, issues, or problems. It can also involve hints of other genres like action and crime, but still remain a political thriller.
Conventions-
- Where the hero/heroine must ensure the stability of the government that employs him or her.
- There is generally a 'pretend hero/heroine' someone the audience believes will be good but turns out to be either an antagonist or just a helper.
- Innocent people are brought into and involved in the political world or issue.
- They use many locations often making it focus on other countries and/or cultures.
- A character trying to prove their innocence.
Air force one is an example of a political thriller, although it is set on a plane, the narrative is a hostage situation due to political issues. The trailer we have uploaded shows things that conforms to the conventions of a political thriller, things like the non diegetetic sound of the American national anthem. The main character being the president, and his family and security are being held hostage by a foreign terrorist group that wants a General released from prison.
