Summary of Frost/Nixon

In 1977, three years after the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency, Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) selects British TV personality David Frost (Michael Sheen) to conduct a one-on-one, exclusive interview. Though Nixon believes it will be easy to mislead Frost, and the latter's own team doubts that he can stand up to the former president, what actually unfolds is an unexpectedly candid and revealing interview before the court of public opinion.

Critics Reviews

USA Today
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.
Entertainment Weekly
Surges with an energy and visual verve that improve the play and enhance the themes of dramatist Peter Morgan's script.

Users Reviews

A Political Science major I love these types of movies. But, given the Hollywood glaze that most movies have usually makes them not only lacking in historical accuracy but successful dramatization. I did like this very much however. Frank Langella...
Incredible movie. One of the best dialogue-focused pieces I've seen. Frank Langella is truly astounding as Nixon... I am too young to be an expert on Nixon's mannerisms or public personality, but Langella's performance transcends the impression...
