Michael Douglas says America's political system has been "hijacked" in order to "ensure those with power keep it" in a new video focused on corruption in politics.

The "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" star speaks directly into the camera for the 10-minute film, released Monday by the anti-corruption group RepresentUs.

The two-party system, Douglas says, controls "the money, the debates, the primaries. They even draw their own voting districts."

"Year after year we choose between the lesser of two evils: Democrats, Republicans," Douglas, 75, tells viewers.

"In any other environment, a new competitor would swoop in to better serve the constituency," he adds. 

Citing research and statistics, Douglas laments partisanship, saying, "Hard-liners are rewarded, collaboration is vilified. Congress is so grid-locked, they can't even pass the most basic laws to improve the lives of everyday Americans."

"What I want to know is how do we fix it?" he exclaims.

RepresentUs co-founder Joshua Graham Lynn says that "so much of what's failing is a symptom of our failed elections."

"This isn't about giving power to the right or the left, or asking Congress to fix itself, because frankly, they won't," Lynn says before making a push for the American Anti-Corruption Act. The legislation, advocates say, would ban lobbyists from donating to politicians, would prevent lawmakers from fundraising during working hours and would make campaign donations more transparent, among other measures.

The video comes nearly a year after another film from the group starring RepresentUs board member Jennifer Lawrence racked up more than 22 million views.

Douglas urges viewers to "do something," warning, "you can be damn sure that if you do nothing, nothing is going to change."
