Elvis & Nixon (2016)(CZ)

An iconic photograph of Elvis Presley and Richard Nixon, arguably the two most famous men of the generation for different reasons, was taken at the White House on December 21, 1970 following a meeting between the two. That event and photograph form the jumping off point for this imagining of the machinations that transpired that morning leading to the meeting happening and what happened at the meeting itself. Concerned for the state of various aspects of American society, Elvis feels like he owes it to his country to serve by becoming an undercover Federal Agent At Large, he personally going to the White House previously unannounced to drop off a letter for Nixon requesting a meeting for it to happen. He is able to convince his friend and former employee Jerry Schilling to accompany him, Jerry having left his employ for the toll it was taking on his personal life. In the process of this day and Elvis trying to convince him to return working for him, Jerry forgets an important previous engagement he has back in Los Angeles that evening, missing it which would again negatively affect his personal life. While Jerry stays with Elvis to deal with this issue important in Elvis' life, people close to the President also try to get the meeting to happen that day if only for the good PR, the President in turn seeing it solely as a stunt and more importantly an impingement on his schedule as it would impede on his important daily routine of a nap.
