Full Plot Details

In this speculative one-man drama, we see former President Richard Milhous Nixon alone in his study, dictating his thoughts into a tape recorder. His only company are a four-screen closed-circuit TV setup, the portraits on the walls, a bottle of Chivas Regal - and a loaded pistol. At times addressing an imaginary judge in a court of public opinion, at other times speaking to an aide named Roberto, and sometimes just talking to himself, the former chief executive reflects, in a series of meandering monologues, on his humble Quaker upbringing, his school days, his family and a political career that reached all the way to the White House. Nixon rails at his treatment by the likes of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the "goddam Kennedys," J. Edgar Hoover, Henry Kissinger, Jews, liberals, the media, "East Coast shits," among others, as he leads up to the "true" reasons for the Watergate scandal that resulted in his resignation - an act he regards as one of "secret honor.

Movie Reviews

Low IQ Canadian - 10/10 by Martin ScribbsDoes anyone have a clue what Altman was driving at with this intense glob of lunacy?
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertRarely have I seen ninety more compelling minutes on the screen.
New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyOne of the funniest, most unsettling, most imaginative and most surprisingly affecting movies of its very odd kind I've ever seen.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrThe dramatic material, overheated to begin with, is hyped up by hysterical acting and further exaggerated by a busy mise-en-scene based on meaningless camera movements and space-destroying zooms.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by David N. ButterworthAltman's take on a fascinating one-man show, with Philip Baker Hall staggeringly good as the disgraced Richard Milhous Nixon.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe pic delivers a fascinating story in a fascinating way.
Movie Poop Shoot - 6/10 by D.K. HolmNixon is a fascinating figure of Shakespearean proportions.
User Review - 10/10 by Johnny Bthis is an amazing movie. One actor, giving a fantastic performance. And a great ending. Brilliant credits sequence.
User Review - 10/10 by Robert HPhilip Baker Hall's outrageous, scatterbrained portrayal of Nixon is the performance that actors should aspire to accomplish, as it truly does not get any better than this. The fact that Hall can carry an entire ninety minute film by himself is astonishing, and Secret Honor is compelling to no end.
User Review - 10/10 by Knox MA movie about a guy, who just happened to be president, whose nickname was dick. After the events in this movie, it took on a more pejorative meaning, not just tricky dick, too. I don't know about the script but Philip Baker Hall does the best nixon I have seen. And that's all there is: nixon, nothing but nixon. About the script: I haven't heard the watergate tapes in their entirety, and I wasn't aware nixon used so many f-bombs. So be warned, because nixon drops more f-bombs than bombs he dropped on vietnam; it's a virtual reality of a rolling thunder of f-bombs, that's what you'll get here. The thing that strikes me as funny about the events of watergate now, is that while nixon and friends were persecuted for breaking into the watergate, and very rightly so, their use of wiretaps and recording everything and the way congress embraced it, paved the way for today's 1984ish society. The movie might seem like a very one sided and maybe even inaccurate depiction of a US president, but hey, that guy didn't earn the moniker tricky dick for nothing.
