The most devastating detective story of the century!

In the Watergate Building, lights go on and four burglars are caught in the act. That night triggered revelations that drove a US President from office. Washington reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein (Redford, Hoffman) grabbed the story and stayed with it through doubts, denials, discouragement.

Directed by Alan J. Pakula and based on the Woodward/Bernstein book, the film won four 1976 Academy Awards® (Best Supporting Actor / Jason Robards, Adaptation Screenplay / William Goldman, Art Direction and Sound). It also explores a working newspaper, where the mission is to get the story - and get it right....
