Chinatown

Jack Nicholson is unforgettable as private eye Jake Gittes, living off the murky moral climate of sun-baked, pre-war Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite (Faye Dunaway) to investigate her husband's extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together for one, unforgettable night. Directed by Roman Polanski, co-starring film legend John Huston, and featuring Jerry Goldsmith's iconic score and an Academy Award®-winning script by Robert Towne, CHINATOWN captures a lost era in a masterfully woven movie that remains a timeless gem.
