In the Loop is a 2009 British satirical black comedy film directed by Armando Iannucci. The film is a spin-off from the BBC Television series The Thick of It and satirizes Anglo-American politics in the 21st century and especially the invasion of Iraq. It was nominated for the 2009 Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
The film stars Peter Capaldi, Tom Hollander, Gina McKee, Chris Addison, David Rasche, and James Gandolfini.
When both the UK and the US are suggesting military intervention in the Middle East, Simon Foster (Tom Hollander), the Minister for International Development, unintentionally states that a war in the Middle East is "unforeseeable" during a radio interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the Prime Minister's Director of Communications, Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi) castigates Simon and tells him to toe the line.
