See the most agreed on films →Following the Watergate scandal and resignation, former President Richard Nixon remains a withdrawn figure. A British talk-show host, David Frost, secures a series of exclusive interviews with him, seeing it as a chance to revive his own career. What begins as a light-hearted exchange evolves into a high-stakes battle of wits, as Frost pushes for the confession the American public never received, turning the interviews into a tense intellectual duel.
