- Synopsis
- A dramatic retelling of the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon. For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 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. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans. Likewise, Frost's team harbored doubts about their boss' ability to hold his own. But as cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted. Would Nixon evade questions of his role in one of the nation's greatest disgraces? Or would Frost confound critics and bravely demand accountability from the man who'd built a career out of stonewalling? Over the course of their encounter, each man would reveal his own insecurities, ego and reserves of dignity--ultimately setting aside posturing in a stunning display of unvarnished truth.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The craftsmanship, acting, and history lesson all make it among the most satisfying films of Ron Howard's career."
-
"Surges with an energy and visual verve that improve the play and enhance the themes of dramatist Peter Morgan's script."
-
"It's hard to imagine how a film built around one-on-one interviews could be entertaining, but Frost/Nixon could not be more enthralling."
-
"Despite the great care and research that went into the movie, Frost/Nixon pales in comparison to Oliver Stone's 'Nixon' when it comes to humanizing the infamous leader."
