Frost/Nixon
Frank Langella, Michael Sheen
|
 |
For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning
former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time
in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency.
Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy
British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans. Likewise, Frost's team harbored doubts
about their boss' ability to hold his own. But as cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted. Would Nixon
evade questions of his role in one of the nation's greatest disgraces? Or would Frost confound critics and bravely
demand accountability from the man who'd built a career out of stonewalling?
Over the course of their encounter, each man would reveal his own insecurities, ego and reserves of dignity --
ultimately setting aside posturing in a stunning display of unvarnished truth. Frost/Nixon not only re-creates
the on-air interview, but the weeks of around-the-world, behind-the-scenes maneuvering between the two men and
their camps as negotiations were struck, deals were made and secrets revealed... all leading to the moment when
they would sit facing one another in the court of public opinion.
