Product Description:
In the Watergate Building lights go on and four burglars are caught in the act. That night triggered revelations that drive a U.S. President from office. Washington reporters Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) grabbed the story and stayed with it through doubts denials and discouragement. All the President's Men is their story. 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).

For those who forgot about the Watergate era, and those who were too young or unborn, this is a recommended history lesson.
