Synopsis

Average Oliver Stone fare. The story of Richard M. Nixon, former president of the United States whose presidency ended in disgrace. The only US president ever to resign his office to avoid being impeached. The film begins with the Watergate burglary which began his downfall and jumps around in time a great deal. Filmed in a wide variety of film stock, including color and black and white photography, the film tends to resemble Orson Welles' Citizen Kane in it's time frame and flashback sequences. As usual for a Stone film, it is very extensive portrayal of the man. Very dark, and at times, extrememly unaccurate.
