What is the plot of ‘White House Plumbers’?
It doesn’t matter which generation you belong to, if there’s one infamous political scandal that fascinates people, it is the Watergate Scandal involving President Nixon. ‘White House Plumbers’ is based on this scandal, but has taken a different approach in comparison to previous renditions you might have seen. This miniseries has been directed by David Mandel, who briefly spoke about how this series compares to other media representations of the same scandal.
In an interview with IndieWire, Mandel said, “This is a limited series where it is 100 percent about the burglary. We’re going to meet these guys before the burglary, and we’re going to see the effects of the burglary on their lives.”
While ‘White House Plumbers’ will give us the extent of the entire scandal, the focus will remain on E Howard Hunt and G Gordon Liddy, played by Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux respectively. So, if you think you have heard and seen this scandal from every angle possible, think again!
