“Nixon” (1995)

Drenched in sweat and tears, "Nixon" peels back the façade of the White House for an intimate face-to-face with a fiery, floundering, profoundly fallible President. Played by Anthony Hopkins in one of his most exaggerated turns, the controversial commander-in-chief allows himself to be corrupted and then watches in dismay as the walls close in around him. “Nixon” exhibits a surprising amount of empathy for a man who went from the nation’s most powerful public official to its most scorned scoundrel.
