Abstract |
Pittsburgh elects Carl Burke (Kevin Hooks), a black 25-year-old, as its youngest-ever mayor. Burke’s charisma, honesty, and ability to slam dunk make up for his inexperience, while his father serves as his chief advisor, a janitor, and chauffeur.

Notes |
The city is unnamed in the script, but producers chose Pittsburgh to represent mythic American cities on the rise after economic distress.
