Michael Sheen and Frank Langella recreate the chemistry of their acclaimed West End and Broadway roles as Frost and Nixon. For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview. He surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans. What actually unfolds is an unexpectedly candid and revealing interview in which young journo Frost teases a Watergate confession out of the ex-President.
Mae Michael Sheen a Frank Langella yn ail‑greu hud eu rolau West End a Broadway cymeradwyedig fel Frost a Nixon. Am dair blynedd ar ôl cael ei wthio o’i swydd, arhosodd Nixon yn dawel. Ond yn ystod haf 1977, cytunodd y cyn pencadlywydd craff roi un cyfweliad cynhwysol. Er syndod mawr i lawer, dewisodd Frost, fel ei gyffeswr teledu, gyda’r bwriad o drechu’r Prydeiniwr bywiog a diogelu lle yng nghalonnau a meddyliau Americaniaid. Yn hytrach, yr hyn wnaeth gymryd lle mewn gwirionedd oedd cyfweliad annisgwyl o agored a didwyll ble mae Frost y newyddiadurwr ifanc yn denu cyffesiad Watergate o’r cyn-Lywydd.
