Movie. Jurgen Prochnow plays Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mariel Hemingway plays wife Maria Shriver in this biopic about the muscleman who became a Hollywood superstar and then a superstar politician. The film follows Schwarzenegger's campaign for governor of California in the wacky recall election of 2003, looks back at Ah-nold's pursuit of an unprecedented 4th "Mr. Olympia" body building championship three decades ago, and reveals how Schwarzenegger's incredible ambition and personal charisma have brought him to the top.

Backed by his wife MARIA SHRIVER, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER (56) announces on The Tonight Show that he will run for Governor of California. Arnold spares no expense in assembling a team of top advisors. We flash back to pivotal moments in Arnold's life- from his childhood in Austria where his father GUSTAV would ruthlessly pit Arnold against older brother MEINHARD (9) in feats of strength, to Arnold's peak bodybuilding days in Venice, CA in the 70's when, despite many naysayers, he dreamed of one day becoming a wealthy movie star. Arnold's campaign is marred by negative campaigning by his opponents and questionable things said and done in his past coming to light, but in the end his charisma, tireless work ethic and the vocal support of Maria win him the Governorship in 2003.
