Full Plot Details

Fact-based story about a disturbed office furniture salesman who in 1972 concocted a plot to kill then-President Nixon by hi-jacking a plane to fly over the White House to drop a gas bomb. At the start of the movie, the man is separated from his wife and stressed in his job where he is made the butt of jokes and is an under-performer. Attempts to get his brother's old tire business resurrected with a black partner is rejected by the banks. When he is officially served with divorce papers, everything comes apart and Richard Nixon's broken promises comes to represent all the evils that have come down on him. A news story about a pilot that landed a helicopter on the White House lawn gives him the idea for his attack. Bolting onto a Baltimore plane, he attempts the hi-jacking.

Movie Reviews

Charlotte Observer - 10/10 by Lawrence ToppmanWhat surprises us most is the picture's topicality, and not just because terrorists crashed a plane into the Pentagon three years ago.
Cinema em Cena - 10/10 by Pablo VillaçaA performance (de Sean Penn) neste filme é mais um exemplo de sua genialidade.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittThis is one of the rare movies to explore American materialism through the eyes of an all-too-ordinary person who isn't up to the challenges of everyday life.
Miami Herald - 10/10 by Rene RodriguezBy the time Bicke crosses the line from passive sad sack to murderer, The Assassination of Richard Nixon has made an eloquent case for explaining the seemingly unexplainable. But the movie doesn't make you care.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertDoes the film have a message? I don't think it wants one. It is about the journey of a man going mad. A film can simply be a character study, as this one is.
Internet Reviews - 9/10 by Steve RhodesA riveting mix of Death of a Salesman and JFK ... it stars Sean Penn in another Oscar worthy performance.
Los Angeles Daily News - 9/10 by Glenn WhippPeople watching Assassination 100 years from now will still marvel at its relevance.
Premiere Magazine - 9/10 by Aaron HillisThe brilliant subtleties of this absorbing, must-see drama are best seen through Penn, who transforms a strongly nuanced script into the greatest performance of the year.
Now Playing Magazine - 9/10 by Brent SimonOne of the better character studies of 2004.
Dallas Observer - 9/10 by Robert WilonskyPenn's lead performance is the main attraction here, and it's a fine piece of work--far superior to his overly showy Oscar-winning role last year.
