The Assassination of Richard Nixon

I read about this film several months ago and was somewhat intrigued. Helmed by wet-behind-the-ears director Niels Mueller, this film, which is based on a true story, finds Sean Penn portraying Samuel Byck, an unemployed tire salesman who in 1974 planned to assassinate President Nixon by flying a hijacked airplane into the White House.

The film appears to be in limited-release, so you may have to dial up your local art house cinema to see if they'll be playing it. There's also a good review of the film over at Pixelsurgeon.
