Focusing on the first seven months of the Watergate scandal, All the President’s Men tells the story from the viewpoint of the journalists from The Washington Post who broke the story.
Made when these events were still raw, the film provides a view of modern history that suggests the paranoid skeptics were right all along – and is widely considered to be one of the great American political thrillers.
