A fictional account of the Ambassador Hotel on the day Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated, Bobby recreates the ambience and themes of 1968, and invokes the hopes killed with Kennedy, by portraying this day in the life of 24 characters. To tell the story it uses the ensemble plot device of the Grand Hotel (film) (1932).

Anthony Hopkins stars as the retired but ever-present doorman at The Ambassador Hotel.

Lindsay Lohan and Elijah Wood appear as a couple opposed to the Vietnam War who get married so Wood's character can avoid being sent to Vietnam and possible combat duty.

Emilio Estevez and Demi Moore play married entertainers on the downside of their careers.

Sharon Stone plays a beautician married to the hotel's manager (William H. Macy), who clashes with his food and beverage manager (Christian Slater) who oversees a chef (Laurence Fishburne) and busboys (Freddy Rodriguez and Jacob Vargas). Other hotel staff portrayed are two hotel phone operators (Heather Graham and Joy Bryant).

Helen Hunt and Martin Sheen (Estevez's father in real life) portray married socialites and Kennedy campaign donors staying at the hotel.

Joshua Jackson (Emilio Estevez's co-star in the The Mighty Ducks trilogy), Nick Cannon, Brian Geraghty, and Shia LaBeouf play Kennedy volunteers; the latter two vie for the affection of a waitress played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead and are willingly distracted by a drug dealer (Ashton Kutcher). A Czech reporter (Svetlana Metkina) fails to get the volunteers to grant her an interview with Kennedy.

Harry Belafonte rounds out the ensemble as the ex-doorman's retired friend.
