ALAN J. PAKULA | USA | 1976 | 138 MIN | ENGLISH | 35MM
When a burglary is discovered at the Watergate office complex in the middle of the night on June 17, 1972, five men are arrested. At the courthouse the next morning, their arraignment catches the attention of up-and-coming Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and soon after Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman). What seems like a routine assignment begins to blossom into a full-blown cover-up, the likes of which they’ve never seen. Peeling back the layers, the two will stop at nothing to get the true story, even if it puts them in danger. The third in his now infamous “paranoia trilogy” after Klute and The Parallax View, Alan J. Pakula’s All the President’s Men created the blueprint that most reporter and conspiracy movies (including this year’s opening night selection, September 5) follow. Garnering eight Academy Award nominations, this timeless classic is just as relevant as the day it was released. Presented in 35mm.
Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, Jack Warden, Martin Balsam
