JFK

Oliver Stone's detailed examination of possible answers to unsolved mysteries surrounding John F.

Kennedy's assassination. Kevin Costner plays New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, who remained unconvinced by the Warren Commission Report and launched his own investigation.

This film was released on a wave of controversy and led to calls for Congress to re-open government records from the 1977 House Select Committee on the assassination.

Stone weaves actual archive footage with historical reconstruction and conjecture to present his argument that Kennedy was killed by the CIA due to his desire to withdraw troops from Vietnam.

The film gained several Oscar nominations and Stone won a Golden Globe award for Best Director.
