          We remember the day Nixon resigned after Watergate (you youngsters, Google it). British entertainer, comic, talk show host, alleged playboy David Frost (Sheen) wants to interview Nixon (Langella). Highly unlikely. Nixon wants it as a chance to exonerate himself. He sees Frost as a silly pushover. Frost wants it as a challenge but isn’t going to get it because his few supporters demand that he get a confession out of Nixon.

          Against all odds, it happens. And becomes quite dramatic. And it mostly true.

          The cast is excellent.
