Shh, the Movie's Starting!
British talk show host and TV personality David Frost scored a series of post-Watergate interviews with disgraced former American president Richard Nixon.
Turns out they're both in it for redemption. Frost could salvage his self-respect as a journalist or Nixon could spin his way back to Washington. But there could be only one winner in this historic verbal throw-down.
Adapted from the award-winning stage play by Peter Morgan, this Ron Howard movie stars Michael Sheen as easy, breezy David Frost and Frank Langella as a bear-like Richard Nixon, capable of pinning an opponent to the mat with his words.
Also stars Oliver Platt, Sam Rockwell, Toby Jones, Kevin Bacon, and a pair of Gucci loafers.
