About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
As the face of law enforcement in the United States for almost 50 years, J. Edgar Hoover was feared and admired, reviled and revered. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career, and his life.
Shadowy corridors and stifling bureaucracy swallow the man behind the monumental FBI legend. This clinical portrait strips away the public icon to reveal a fragile, obsessive psyche fueled by paranoia and hidden desires.
