Which 2008 biographical film about Richard Nixon stars Frank Langella?

The 2008 biographical film about Richard Nixon starring Frank Langella is Frost/Nixon.

Directed by Ron Howard, the film dramatizes the series of television interviews conducted in 1977 by British broadcaster David Frost, played by Michael Sheen. Peter Morgan adapted his own 2006 stage play for the screenplay, and the movie reunited Langella and Sheen, who had played the same roles in the original West End and Broadway productions.

The story focuses on Frost’s effort to make the interviews a serious examination of Nixon’s presidency and the Watergate scandal. Nixon resigned in 1974, but the interviews offered him a chance to reshape his public image—and gave Frost an opportunity to prove himself as a journalist. The real interviews attracted a huge worldwide television audience.

A common mix-up is Nixon, Oliver Stone’s 1995 film starring Anthony Hopkins. All the President’s Men instead follows journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein during their Watergate investigation. Frost/Nixon premiered at the London Film Festival in 2008 and received five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Langella.
