Plot Synopsis

Credited as the show that made politics sexy, THE WEST WING takes viewers behind the scenes of the White House where young, quick-witted idealists struggle to communicate their dreams, fend off the opposition, and lead the free world -- all while trying to run a country. This record-breaking Emmy-winner features an ensemble cast of characters who make up the senior staff of the fictional Bartlett and Santos administrations. Among the most notable are White House Chief of Staff Leo McGarry; his deputy, Josh Lyman; Director of Communications Toby Ziegler; his second, Sam Seaborne; and Press Secretary C.J. Craig.

For the first time in 17 years, the original cast of the Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning hit Warner Bros. Television drama series comes together with WEST WING creator Aaron Sorkin and executive producer/director Thomas Schlamme for "A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote," which debuted on HBO Max on Thursday, October 15, 2020. "A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote" features a special theatrical stage presentation of the "Hartsfield's Landing" episode from the show's third season. The creative team and cast organized this historic production in order to raise awareness for and support the vital mission of When We All Vote, a non-profit, nonpartisan organization co-chaired by Michelle Obama which was founded to increase participation in every election in America. In honor of the special, WarnerMedia will make a donation to When We All Vote. Entertainment Weekly revealed a cover story today featuring THE WEST WING cast standing alongside Sorkin as they unite to get out the vote.
