WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Based on the amazingly true story of what is now one of the most requested photos in the US National Archive, Elvis & Nixon is a bizarre and often hilarious retelling of what really went down when the King of Rock and Roll met the President of the United States.
