ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN

ALAN J PAKULA | USA | 1976 | 138 MIN | PG

This journalism drama recounts a pivotal moment in American history with breathless immediacy and nail-biting tension of a great thriller. Following The Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) as they attempt to connect the dots between a mysterious break-in at the Watergate Hotel and the Nixon administration, All the President’s Men captures the dogged determination of journalists pursuing the truth in spite of false leads, sketchy sources, and looming danger. Urged by their hardline editor Bradlee (Jason Robards) to continue refining their reporting, Woodward and Bernstein piece together a story with monumental implications. A testament to journalism’s ability to speak truth to power, this classic is just as rousing and timely as ever.

Cast: Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Warden, Martin Balsam
