CITIZEN COHN

Roy Cohn (James Woods) was a brutal genius-an attorney with a future-and he knew it. First taking the Rosenberg's to trial as spies, ensuring he got them the death penelty;then destroying lives as Senator Joe McCarthy's (Joe Don Baker) right-hand man in the Communist Witch Hunts of the 1950's; and on to America under the Kennedys where he fought their support of civil rights, befriending the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover and attempting to undermine the leadership of Martin Luther King. Roy Cohn could make or break the strongest men in America just for the thrill of the kill. Ruthless, destructive, power hungry and insatiable, to many he was a national hero; to many more, a national disgrace. Co-stars Joseph Bologna, Lee Grant, Ed Flanders, Frederic Forrest and Pat Hingle.
