Ron Howard directs this movie treatment of Peter Morgan's smash-hit stage play about David Frost's television interviews with former President Richard Nixon in 1977, the story of two famous people brought together by the ironies of fate, of politics, of celebrity, of male ego. Frost is played by Michael Sheen and Nixon by the massive, rumbling, fish-eyed Frank Langella. Kevin Bacon plays Nixon's fiercely loyal aide Jack Brennan and Sam Rockwell and Oliver Platt are Frost's querulous American researchers.
