The Most Historically Accurate Hollywood Films

Visiting the Real Newsroom

Director Alan J. Pakula wanted the actors to feel as authentic in their roles as possible so he had Hoffman and Redford visit the real newsroom where the scandal broke in the 1970s. They sat in the real desks the reporters used. The film tells one of the most important stories in both journalistic and political history and has been added to the National Film Registry due to its cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance.
