The story of Richard M. Nixon, former president of the United States whose
presidency ended in disgrace. The only US president ever to resign his
office to avoid being impeached. The film begins with the Watergate burglary
which began his downfall and jumps around in time a great deal. Filmed in a
wide variety of film stock, including color and black and white photography,
the film tends to resemble Orson Welles' Citizen Kane in it's time frame and
flashback sequences.
