THE GOOD FATHER stars Anthony Hopkins as a man who takes a reactionary response to the feminist movement. In the climate of the Conservative Thatcher government in Britain, Bill Hooper (Hopkins) has become angry and disillusioned with the failed radical politics of the 1960s that he once supported, especially after a messy divorce and ugly custody battle for his son. Taking a page from the women's movement, Hooper makes the personal political when he meets Roger Miles (Jim Broadbent), a man going through a separation and custody battle similar to his own. Bill convinces Roger to utilize a series of underhanded tactics to win the court case, using Roger's struggle as a way of indirectly striking back at the political movement he felt betrayed by during his own difficulties.
