The War Room is an American documentary film made in 1993.

Synopsis

The War Room shows the behind-the-scenes activity in Bill Clinton's campaign for President of the United States in 1992. The film is named after the campaign's "war room"--command center--from which the effort was directed.

The film crew, led by husband and wife directors D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus, was given unprecedented access behind the scenes starting with the 1992 Democratic National Convention, with the story of the primaries constructed from news footage.

The film focuses on the campaign's lead strategist, James Carville, and the communications director George Stephanopoulos. Campaign manager David Wilhelm refused to participate. Famous moments from the campaign are seen in their forming stages, such as the commercial making use of George H. W. Bush's "read my lips: no new taxes" broken promise and the creation of the line, "It's the economy, stupid".

The film was nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary.
