All the President's Men (US, 1976)

Well made, complex political drama in which 2 junior journalists scoop the Watergate scandal for the Washington Post. The pair doggedly pursue their quarry, and editor Bradlee takes several major gambles in publishing their stories.

The film touches on some themes more fully explored in the excellent Parallax View (1974), also directed by Pakula.
