1995. USA. Directed by Oliver Stone. Screenplay by Stephen J. Rivele, Christopher Wilkinson, Stone. With Anthony Hopkins, Joan Allen, James Woods, J. T. Walsh, Powers Boothe, David Hyde Pierce. "Nixon remains one of the most compelling, frustrating, and fascinating figures of twentieth-century American history. In fact, Nixon is, in the truest sense of the word, a man of the century.... It's almost as if he embodies everything that's right and wrong about America in general and American politicians in particular.... His potential was limitless, but ultimately was limited by powers that even he couldn't control. To some degree, Nixon is about the illusion of power" (Stone). 190 min.
