Twenty-two people become unwitting participants in a tragic and defining moment of the 1960s in this period drama from actor and director Emilio_Estevez. It's early June in 1968, and the California presidential primary elections are occupying the minds of many in the Golden State, with Robert_F._Kennedy in a close race against Eugene McCarthy and Hubert_Humphrey. The Kennedy campaign staff has set up camp at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, while the staff and guests become observers as the brother of fallen president John_F._Kennedy sets out to pick up where his sibling left off. Paul (William_H._Macy) is the manager of the Ambassador, and his wife, Miriam (Sharon_Stone), is a hairdresser who runs' the hotel's beauty salon. Angela (Heather_Graham) is a receptionist working the hotel's switchboard who has been sleeping with Paul behind Miriam's back. Timmons (Christian_Slater) is in charge of the hotel's restaurant and catering department, and makes no secret of his dislike of the African-Americans and Latinos under his employ. Miguel (Jacob_Vargas) and Jose (Freddy_Rodriguez) are two young Chicanos on the kitchen staff who have it in for Timmons, while Robinson (Laurence_Fishburne) is an older black man who counsels them on dealing with their rage. Virginia Fallon (Demi_Moore) sings in the hotel's cocktail lounge and has a serious problem with alcohol; her husband, Tim (Emilio_Estevez), is a Kennedy supporter and also her manager, and he's nearing the end of his rope in dealing with her problem. William (Elijah_Wood) is a young man desperate to avoid being drafted and sent to Vietnam; Diane (Lindsay_Lohan) is a pretty young woman dating William's brother who agrees to marry him so William can avoid being drafted, though William is clearly infatuated with her, while she considers this a marriage in name only. John Casey (Anthony_Hopkins) is one of the owners of the Ambassador, and Nelson (Harry_Belafonte) is an old friend who works at the hotel. And Jack (Martin_Sheen) is a wealthy Kennedy campaign financier who is married to Samantha (Helen_Hunt), an attractive but much younger woman. Bobby also features Joshua_Jackson, Nick_Cannon, and Shia LaBeouf as young Kennedy campaign volunteers, while Ashton_Kutcher, Joy_Bryant, Kip_Pardue, and Mary_Elizabeth_Winstead also highlight the supporting cast.
