J. Edgar Hoover, powerful head of the F.B.I. for nearly 50 year, looks back on his professional and peronal life.
Biopic of J. Edgar Hoover told by Hoover as he recalls his career for a biography. Early in his career, Hoover fixated on Communists, anarchists and any other revolutionary taking action againt the U.S. government. He slowly builds the agency's reputation, becoming the sole arbiter of who gets hired and fired. One of his hires is Clyde Tolson who is quickly promoted to Assistant Director and would be Hoover's confidant and companion for the rest of Hoover's life. Hoover's memories have him playing a greater role in the many high profile cases the FBI was involved in - the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, the arrest of bank robber like John Dillinger - and also show him to be quite adept at manipulating the various politician he's worked with over his career, thanks in large part to his secret files.
