Alan J. Pakula's riveting account of Woodward and Bernstein's investigation into the Watergate scandal remains the definitive journalism thriller. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman bring intense credibility to their roles as the Washington Post reporters who refused to let the story die, following leads late into the night and famously being told to "follow the money." William Goldman's sharp screenplay and Gordon Willis's moody cinematography create an atmosphere of paranoia and urgency that feels startlingly relevant today. Winner of four Academy Awards, All the President's Men is both a masterclass in investigative journalism and a reminder of the press's vital role in democracy.
