Amanda Milius

Amanda Milius is an American filmmaker, director, and former government official. She is best known for directing and producing the 2020 documentary The Plot Against the President, which argues that the Russiagate investigation was a manufactured political narrative. The film, made under her production company AMDC Films, was billed by National Conservatism as the most-watched documentary of 2020.

Milius has also worked in the first Trump administration at the State Department and the White House. In recent years she has become a fixture on the national-conservative speaking circuit, appearing at events like NatCon 3 in 2022 and NatCon Jerusalem in 2026. As the daughter of Hollywood director John Milius, she brings an insider's view of the film industry to her political commentary. [edit]

Amanda Milius grew up in Los Angeles, the daughter of director and screenwriter John Milius, the writer-director behind Apocalypse Now, Jeremiah Johnson, Dirty Harry, Red Dawn, and Conan the Barbarian. She has described herself online as "a weird Hwood kid with strong semi-coherent political views." Her childhood was spent inside the Hollywood film industry, and she has spoken publicly about her father's legacy, telling Fox News in November 2024 that he was "very happy" that Donald Trump won the election.

Her formal education is not documented in available sources. Her first credited directorial work is the post-apocalyptic Western The Lotus Gun (2015), which IndieWire framed in 2016 as her honoring her father's legacy. She then moved into politics, serving in the first Trump administration at the State Department and the White House before founding her production company, AMDC Films. [edit]

Milius's breakthrough came with The Plot Against the President (2020), a documentary she directed and produced through AMDC Films. The film argues that the Russiagate narrative was a manufactured plot and was developed with her production banner. It became, per National Conservatism's billing, "the most watched documentary of 2020" and one of the top political documentaries of all time.

Since then, she has appeared as a speaker at National Conservatism conferences, including NatCon 3 in 2022 and NatCon Jerusalem in 2026, where she gave a talk titled "What We Have Here Is A Failure to Communicate." Commentary on the New Right scene in Jerusalem in October 2026 references her presence at that event. She continues to work as a filmmaker and political commentator. [edit]
