On the morning of 21st December 1970, the world’s biggest star Elvis Presley arrived at the White House to request a meeting with the most powerful man in the world, President Richard Nixon.
The musician hero was an enemy to America’s cannabis culture – which many of his die hard fans might not have known, and Elvis reached out in the form of a letter to Nixon to help bring down the counterculture.
Elvis & Nixon tells the true story of this meeting between two men at the pinnacle of their powers. Michael Shannon plays Presley himself, and Kevin Spacey as President Nixon. Also starring Colin Hanks, Johnny Knoxville and Alex Pettyfer.
