All the President's Men

Director: Alan J. Pakula

1976 / 138min / 35mm

“All the President’s Men had to be on my list because it inspired me and so many other journalists to serve as watchdog press, and because so many recent events are reminiscent of Nixon and Watergate.” —Kimberley Reed

Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman star as newsmen Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward in Pakula’s riveting retelling of the startling series of true events whereby the assignment of two Washington Post reporters to investigate the suspiciously urgent Republican response to what appears to be just an amateurish break-in at the Democratic Party National headquarters at the Watergate Hotel would lead to the toppling of a president. The process of investigative journalism rendered as high drama, its unerring eye for realistic detail extending to a scrupulous reproduction of the Post’s newsroom floor."
