Staring Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, John Cusack, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robin Williams…this film is a shameless Oscar contender. Whitaker plays Cecil Gains, butler to eight presidents in his employment at the White House. Eisenhower through Reagan, Gains witnessed American history first-hand for 34 years.
Lee Daniels' The Butler is not showing in any theaters in the area.
