All the President's Men

All the President's Men (1976) was the dramatization of the book of the same name, written by the Washington Post's two main reporters on the Watergate Scandal, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. In this movie, we see the interplay between the presidency and the press. The White House connection to this incident was through E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, who headed up the "plumber's operation" at the White House (plumber's stop leaks--get it?). Eventually, this "third-rate burglary" eventually brought down President Nixon, who resigned the office (the only person to do so) to avoid sure impeachment and likely conviction by the US Senate.
