Plot: Conspiracy film specialist Alan J. Pakula turned journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's best-selling account of their Watergate investigation into one of the hit films of Bicentennial year 1976. While researching a story about a botched 1972 burglary of Democratic Party headquarters at the Watergate apartment complex, green {~Washington Post} reporters/rivals Woodward (Robert Redford, who also exec produced) and Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) stumble on a possible connection between the burglars and a White House staffer. With the circumspect approval of executive editor Ben Bradlee (Jason Robards), the pair digs deeper. Aided by a guilt-ridden turncoat bookkeeper (Jane Alexander) and the vital if cryptic guidance of Woodward's mystery source, Deep Throat (Hal Holbrook), Woodward and Bernstein follow the money all the way to the top of the Nixon administration. Despite Deep Throat's warnings that their lives are in danger, and the reluctance of older {~Post} editors, Woodward and Bernstein are determined to get out the story of the crime and its presidential cover-up. Once Bradlee is convinced, the final teletype impassively taps out the historically explosive results. ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide

As many others American Movies, as self criticism is great, but, this one don't show very much, obviously when was made, still the political pressure was on.

They don't make movies like they used to. Sadly, the same can be said for journalists!

Two Hall of Fame actors at the peak of their powers and a story of historical national importance.

This film should be in everyone's Top 10.

Increasingly, looks like a masterpiece
Added 6/21/2009

The more time passes, the more this looks and feels like a masterpiece. It's the rare movie that gets the world of journalism right, and gets Washington DC right. In short, it's a film unafraid to present the world as it is, not as Hollywood would have us glamorize or sensationalize it. Beyond that, though, it is an outstanding piece of movie craftsmanship. The plot is propelled forward through a blizzard of associations, names, phone calls, snippets of conversation, visual images -- which means, among other things, the movie has the nerve to trust the intelligence of its audience. The suspense is remarkable, the performances consistently outstanding. The actors are just compulsively watchable -- pretty much all of them. What the movie has to say about politics, and political corruption, and the sheer volatility of dangerous information is all still burningly relevant today -- in fact the perspective of time makes it more, not less, so. There's simply no way a piece this smart and this ambitious could get made in Hollywood today -- we've all been turned into dummies by the studio honchos and their obsession with multi-platform revenue streams. This is the real deal.
