See Arnold Run (2005)
Member Rating:  
This made-for-cable biopic recounts the incredible career of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who after a hardscrabble childhood in Austria came to America in the pursuit of the three goals: to be a champion bodybuilder, a popular film actor, and a mover and shaker in the world of politics. It goes without saying that he succeeds in all three endeavors -- spectacularly so -- and, as a bonus, enjoys a happy and enduring marriage to Maria Shriver, one of the many well-publicized offshoots of the influential Kennedy family (who, ironically, are Schwarzenegger's political polar opposites). The film parallels Schwarzenegger's dizzying campaign for the governor's office in California with his strenuous efforts to be chosen as "Mr. Olympia" some three decades earlier. Jürgen Prochnow stars as the Arnold Schwarzenegger of 2003, Roland Kickinger is seen as the younger Schwarzenegger, and Mariel Hemingway is cast as Maria Shriver. While the film doesn't really take sides, it is entertaining and good-humored enough to please both fans and detractors of Schwarzenegger alike. Based on the book by Nigel Andrews, See Arnold Run ran on the A&E Network on January 30, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I think it's a big yet simple side to what the Gov. is. It protrays him as ambitous as he's always been. What a great oppourtunity to see the Gov. in the making...I loved it!!!

    This movie was so far off it was sickening. Arnold didn't come close to looking like arnold did. His accent was really bad and sounded nothing like arnold. The younger arnold didn't look like him however he resembled his accent a bit better. Aside from all that he acted in a rude manner that I'm sure doesn't properly represent governor Arnold. Hated this movie, didn't finish watching it cause it was so horrid.
