There’s been a lot of talk about “Lincoln,” and, like many undecided voters (this is political season, after all), you might be confused as to whether you want to see this biopic about the 16th president. But if you want to see what the film is like for yourself, check out this TV spot, called “Unite.”

“Lincoln” is directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Hal Holbrook and Tommy Lee Jones. The film is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book on Abraham Lincoln’s political prowess, “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.”

“Steven Spielberg directs two-time Academy Award® winner Daniel Day-Lewis in “Lincoln,” a revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President’s tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will change the fate of generations to come.”

“Lincoln” will be in theaters November 9 in select theaters, November 16 nationwide. You can learn more about the film via the official site, Facebook page and Twitter page.
