In the Watergate Building, lights go on and four burglars are caught in the act. That night triggered revelations that drive a U.S. President from office. Washington reporters Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) grabbed the story and stayed with it through doubts, denials and discouragement. All the President's Men is their story. Directed by Alan J. Pakula and based on the Woodward/Bernstein book, the film won four 1976 Academy Awards (Best Supporting Actor/Jason Robards, Adaptation Screenplay/William Goldman, Art Direction and Sound). It also explores a working newspaper, where the mission is to get the story and get it right.

It helps to have one of history's greatest scoops as your factual inspiration, but journalism thrillers just don't get any better than All the President's Men. Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford are perfectly matched as (respectively) Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, whose investigation into the Watergate scandal set the stage for President Richard Nixon's eventual resignation. Their bestselling exposé was brilliantly adapted by screenwriter William Goldman, and director Alan Pakula crafted the film into one of the most intelligent and involving of the 1970s paranoid thrillers. Featuring Jason Robards in his Oscar-winning role as Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, All the President's Men is the film against which all other journalism movies must be measured. --Jeff Shannon

Unfortunately A Dud:
I ordered 15 DVD's from amazon.com and this was the only one that does not work and in fact caused problems with the DVD player. So unfortunately, the quality of the particular CD I received is extremely poor. All the rest of the DVD's ordred are in excellent shape.All the President's Men (Two-Disc Special Edition)
In My Opinion:
I saw this movie when it came out and it was great. As for the disc and all the extras, well, they just don't mean that much to me. I really don't care if there are extras, or if it is widescreen or standard. The movie is what matters and this is a can't miss movie.
All The President's Men Lessons:
The movie "All The President's Men" has lessons that pass the test of time. Have used the film as a teaching tool for journalism students and highly recommend it. Two young men faced all the adversities thrown at them from the highest office in the land, and brought truth into the spotlight. Above all else, they also brought down the president of the United States.
