National Theatre Live: Best of Enemies

In 1968 America, as two men fight to become the next president, all eyes are on the battle between two others: the cunning and conservative William F. Buckley Jr. (David Harewood), and the unruly liberal Gore Vidal (Zachary Quinto).

During a new nightly television format, they debate the moral landscape of a shattered nation. As beliefs are challenged and slurs slung, a new frontier in American politics is opening and television news is about to be transformed forever. Jeremy Herrin (All My Sons) directs this political thriller, filmed live in London's West End.
