Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs) electrifies the screen as Richard Nixon, whose chance at greatness was ultimately destroyed by his passion for power, in Oliver Stone’s (JFK, Savages) 1995 epic drama Nixon.

Nominated for four Academy Awards, Nixon takes a riveting look at a complex man who became the first American president to resign, due to the threat of impeachment and his involvement in conspiracy jeopardizing the nation’s security. The phenomenal all-star cast includes Joan Allen (Pleasantville), Powers Boothe (TV’s Hatfields and McCoys), Ed Harris (The Way Back), Bob Hoskins (Made in Dagenham), E.G.
