Synopsis
Americathon (1979) follows a bankrupt United States that stages a marathon televised spectacle to raise funds and avoid national collapse. As corporate interests, media manipulation, and civic desperation collide, the event becomes a chaotic mirror of consumer culture and political absurdity. This satirical science-fiction comedy blends broad humor and dystopian parody in a manic vision of a nation auctioning its future.
