Biographical drama charting the success of Arnold Schwarzenegger's career, from his youth in Austria to his life in the United States, as he becomes a bodybuilder, a movie icon and an influential politician. Starring Roland Kickinger, Jurgen Prochnow and Mariel Hemingway.

This biographical docu-drama alternates between two parallel threads in the life of Arnold Schwarzenegger: his formative early years as the repeat winner of the Mr. Olympia body-building championship; and his modern foray into the world of politics, hitting the campaign trail and competing in the frenzied atmosphere that accompanied California's chaotic recall election.
