In the Loop



The US President and the UK Prime Minister are looking to launch a war in the Middle East. The plot follows government officials and advisers in their behind-the-scenes efforts either to promote the war or prevent it. Spinal Tap meets Strangelove. A satirical demolition of Whitehall and Washington: politically astute, hilarious and terrifyingly real.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Although based upon Armando Iannucci's TV show The Thick of It (UK), only characters: Malcolm Tucker and Jamie McDonald, and the hand held visual style are the same. There are actors which also feature prominently in the show but their characters are different.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): The United Nations emblem portrayed in the film is incorrect (the chief difference being the emblem's map of the world presented as a cylindrical rather than an azimuthal projection).
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): Simon and Toby land in DC at what seems to be the afternoon (it is still full daylight, there are no long shadows and they proceed to the hotel and discuss what they'll do that evening). They phone Judy in London to arrange transport for them. She is woken by the call in what she says is the middle of the night. But DC is only 5 hours behind London, so it should be no later than mid-evening there.
  • Director Armando Iannucci provides the voice over for when the UN resolution passes.
