SYNOPSIS

​

All the President's Men (1976)

​

​​​​

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of release of the film - it was the mother of all political scandals — the one that gave us “Deep Throat” and the “-gate” suffix attached to every scandal since. All the President’s Men thrillingly tells the story of Watergate, as two young Washington Post journalists, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, uncover the trail of corruption that led all the way to the Nixon White House. Starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, this classic film is both a tense political drama and a powerful tribute to investigative journalism, showing how persistence, truth and a free press helped expose one of the most shocking moments in American political history.
