Synopsis

Anthony Hopkins electrifies the screen as NIXON in the acclaimed hit from controversial director Oliver Stone. Nominated for four Academy Awards(R), including best actor, Anthony Hopkins, 1995, NIXON takes a riveting look at a complex man whose chance at greatness was ultimately destroyed by his passion for power, when his involvement in conspiracy jeopardized the nation's security and the presidency of the United States. With a phenomenal all-star cast featuring Ed Harris, James Woods and Joan Allen, NIXON is a powerful motion picture. Included in this special 2-Disc Election Year Edition is an all-new 35-minute documentary on Nixon by Sean Stone you won't want to miss.

Review

If moviemaking is this century's conveyance of contemporary folklore, Nixon mythologizes a historical figure deeply imbedded over decades in the American consciousness. And few personalities elicit such polar extremes of reaction as President Richard Milhous Nixon, a deeply conflicted man with true world vision yet bogged down in consuming, petty hatreds and beset by driving personal demons. Hopkins approaches the formidable task of portraying a public figure whose every vocal inflection is known by millions with a consummate actor's creation of a multilayered, contradictory and often baffling personality. Stone's technical filmmaking expertise exploits the innermost soul of an individual against the backdrop of a nation's psyche; if you hold his political interpretation as indulgence, you must allow an auteur's sure hand at his medium. In support, Allen stands out as Pat Nixon, the one person who saw it all yet was least seen by the public eye. (Also available in a 212-minute director's cut)
