All the King's Men

The star-studded cast, including Sean Penn and Jude Law, boasts 15 Oscar nominations (and two wins), while Oscar-winning screenwriter Steven Zaillian makes his directing debut with this adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. It all adds up to a must-see political drama positively oozing with prestige.
