Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio) was active in a left wing protest group, protesting againt immigration politics. Many years later he lives hidden away without his partner, but with his daughter, always paranoid that the past will catch up with him.
During one of the youthful actions, Bob’s former partner messed with a colonel (a great Sean Penn) who held his grudge long enough to interfere with Bob’s life 16 years after the incident.
In a lengthy (2:41 hours) movie, P.T. Anderson gives a peak into American left wing underground and comes with a nice cat-and-mouse game with a lot of drama and some tension.
