Based on the book by the Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, detailing their uncovering of a government conspiracy, involving a break-in at the national headquarters of the Democrats, which lead, ultimately, to the resignation of Richard Nixon from the post of president of the United States of America, this expertly crafted, beautifully-paced film, boasting exemplary performances and excellent dialogue, is a Hollywood thriller of the first order.
