Official synopsis (via Collider):

During his lifetime, J. Edgar Hoover would rise to bethe most powerful man in America. As head of the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation for nearly 50 years, he would stop at nothing to protecthis country. Through eight presidents and three wars, Hoover wagedbattle against threats both real and perceived, often bending the rulesto keep his countrymen safe. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted, if ever elusive, prize.

Hoover was a man who placed great value on secrets—particularlythose of others—and was not afraid to use that information to exertauthority over the leading figures in the nation. Understanding thatknowledge is power and fear poses opportunity, he used both to gainunprecedented influence and to build a reputation that was bothformidable and untouchable.

He was as guarded in his private life as he was in his public one, allowing only a small and protective inner circle into his confidence.His closest colleague, Clyde Tolson, was also his constant companion.His secretary, Helen Gandy, who was perhaps most privy to Hoover’sdesigns, remained loyal to the end…and beyond. Only Hoover’s mother,who served as his inspiration and his conscience, would leave him, herpassing truly crushing to the son who forever sought her love andapproval.

As seen through the eyes of Hoover himself, “J. Edgar” explores thepersonal and public life and relationships of a man who could distortthe truth as easily as he upheld it during a life devoted to his ownidea of justice, often swayed by the darker side of power.
