PRESIDENT: Some are already calling it the greatest victory in the history of military campaigns.
MANKIEWICZ: He is played by Nick Offerman, who says the character was not inspired by any Commander-in-Chief, past or present. Offerman does say the film offers a warning that given today's political climate, Americans need to heed.
NICK OFFERMAN: Our ego and our history wants to allow us to believe that we are above such things, that, you know, lesser countries around the world may engage in, but we're Americans, you know. We drink the finest cola beverages. We are immune to such things.
ALEX GARLAND: There’s an underlying truth with anything difficult, which is: nobody’s immune.
