Ron Howard’s Academy Award-nominated film adaptation of Peter Morgan’s acclaimed play of the same name features actors Frank Langella and Michael Sheen reprising their roles from the Broadway and West End productions of the play. 

In 1977, three years after the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency, Richard Nixon (Langella) selects British TV personality David Frost (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.
