Vice is a 2018 American biographical black comedy film based on the life of Dick Cheney, the 46th vice president of the United States. Directed, written, and produced by Adam McKay, it stars Christian Bale as Cheney. The supporting cast includes Amy Adams, Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell, Justin Kirk, Tyler Perry, Alison Pill, Lily Rabe, and Jesse Plemons. The film follows Cheney on his path to becoming the most powerful vice president in American history, presented with political satire elements.
Vice was released in the United States on December 25, 2018, by Annapurna Pictures, and grossed $76 million worldwide and was considered a box office flop against its $60 million budget. While the performances were universally acclaimed, the film polarized critics; some considered it to be one of the best films of the year while others thought it to be one of the worst, with McKay's screenplay and direction receiving both "scathing critiques and celebratory praise". The film received numerous accolades, with eight nominations at the 91st Academy Awards, winning Best Makeup and Hairstyling. It also received six nominations each from the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs. For their performances, Bale, Adams, and Rockwell were nominated for all three awards, with Bale winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
