Frost/Nixon  Cover Image DVD DVD

Frost/Nixon / Universal Pictures, Imagine Entertainment, Working Title Films present in association with StudioCanal ; a Brian Grazer/Working Title production ; a Ron Howard film ; produced by Brian Grazer [and others] ; screenplay by Peter Morgan ; directed by Ron Howard.

Summary:

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.
