Nixon

This film is a biographical examination of former U.S. President Richard Nixon. The non-chronological narrative explores Nixon's personal and professional life, touching on his youth, college years, and political triumphs and failures. Nixon is seen as a child born to austere Quaker parents, as a young attorney wooing his future wife, Pat, and as an astute but dour politician. After finally becoming president, Nixon is embroiled in the infamous Watergate scandal.
