In his New Jersey study, Richard Nixon retraces the missteps of his political career, attempting to absolve himself of responsibility for Watergate and lambasting President Gerald Ford's decision to pardon him.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Rarely have I seen ninety more compelling minutes on the screen.
