The plot reads: “Governor George W Bush of Texas picks Dick Cheney, the CEO of Halliburton Co, to be his Republican running mate in the 2000 presidential election.

“No stranger to politics, Cheney’s impressive résumé includes stints as White House chief of staff, House Minority Whip and defence secretary.
Prior to that, Cheney spent years moving up the ranks in terms of his political career, and ultimately oversaw 1991’s Operation Desert Storm.
“When Bush wins by a narrow margin, Cheney begins to use his newfound power to help reshape the country and the world.
“During the eight years he spent in office as VP, Cheney became known as one of the most powerful Vice Presidents in the history of the country.
“An examination of Dick Cheney’s rise to power and his policies show that they had wide-reaching effects, changing the world in many ways.”
Though critics are divided in their takes, Christina Bale’s transformation has been almost universally lauded.
Vice is now playing in cinemas.
