尼克松的剧情介绍,影片试图从客观的立场出发探讨因水门丑闻而下台的美国总统理查德·米尔豪斯·尼克松的政治生涯。虽然也涉及到他的童年和早期从政的经历,但重点是在水门事件。当影片中一个女学生当面问总统:“为什么你作为总统制止不了越南战争?是不是因为这个制度?”尼克松似有所悟,他对手下人说:“她懂得我花了二十五年时间搞政治才懂得的事情……”
Director Oliver Stone's exploration of former president Richard Nixon's strict Quaker upbringing, his nascent political strivings in law school, and his strangely self-effacing courtship of his wife, Pat. The contradictions in his character are revealed early, in the vicious campaign against Helen Gahagan Douglas and the oddly masochistic Checkers speech. His defeat at the hands of the hated and envied John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election, followed by the loss of the 1962 California gubernatorial race, seem to signal the end of his career. Yet, although wholly lacking in charisma, Nixon remains a brilliant political operator, seizing the opportunity provided by the backlash against the antiwar movement to take the presidency in 1968. It is only when safely in office, running far ahead in the polls for the 1972 presidential election, that his growing paranoia comes to full flower, triggering the Watergate scandal.
