A political thriller is similar to a normal thriller, the narrative just revolves around political issues and differences. A political thriller usually shows political power struggle. There is usually many plots, illegally schemed to give someone political power or the opposite, to take power away and it can feature a national or international political incident. The protagonist normally ensures the stability of the government. We see also that theirs normally a big incident such as a war or international problem but the films also focus on smaller problems going on within the narrative.
Such as in the film The Manchurian Candidate we see the narrative revolving around a political issue, the Gulf war, but focusing on a problem within, the kidnapping of soldiers and them being brainwashed for specific purposes.
Examples of political thrillers are: JFK (1991), The Contender (2000), The Manchurian Candidate (2004) and All The President's Men (1976).
