Richard Nixon is the disgraced president with a legacy to save. David Frost is a jet-setting television personality with a name to make. This is the legendary battle between the two men and the historic encounter that changed both their lives. For three years after resigning from office, Nixon remained silent. But in the summer of 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. Everyone is surprised that Nixon would select Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans (as well as a $600,000 fee). Likewise, Frost's team harbors doubts that their boss will be able to hold his own. But as cameras roll, a charged battle of wits results.
DVD, widescreen (2.35:1); Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Can't take your eyes off it submitted by crazypockets on July 7, 2013, 2:44pm This was on TV awhile ago, and I was reminded of what a great movie it is. From start to finish, it's fascinating. I really enjoyed seeing the lead-up for such an important interview and the different sides involved. I think it did an excellent job of showing how sometimes professional journalism when done correctly can be almost like a boxing match. Seeing what all went into this historic interview and the importance of the stakes involved made this much more suspenseful than I'd expected, too.

Terrific! submitted by purchasingqueen on August 20, 2016, 1:31pm Saw this on the big screen last year. SOOO good. Actors are great and portray the real people extremely well.
