Plot

In the frost-kissed dawn of a December morning in 1970, an unusual visitor graced the manicured lawn of the White House: the King of Rock 'n Roll himself, Elvis Presley. Played by the lauded Academy Award® nominee Michael Shannon, Elvis arrives unannounced, carrying a hefty request that surprises the most powerful man in the world, President Richard Nixon. Two-time Academy Award® winner Kevin Spacey dons the mantle of Nixon, lending a deft touch to this extraordinary narrative. Elvis & Nixon is an untold true tale that unravels the enigmatic, yet humorous, meeting that unfolded in the hallowed halls of the Oval Office. This meeting, forever immortalized in the most requested photograph in the National Archives, was prompted by Elvis's vehement opposition to the rising drug culture, the hippie movement, SDS, and the Black Panthers. His audacious proposal: to be sworn in as an undercover agent in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. This film delves into the surreal encounter between these two titans, converging from different worlds yet bound by a shared moment in time. It's a revealing snapshot of an era, wrapped in the humor and absurdity that makes this moment a remarkable footnote in history. Elvis & Nixon is an unexpected journey that paints a vibrant picture of a meeting that defies all expectations.
