TV show description:
A satirical political drama series, the White House Plumbers TV show was created by Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck and based on the 2007 book Integrity by Egil Krogh and Matthew Krogh.
The story revolves around the Watergate scandal as President Nixon’s political saboteurs, E. Howard Hunt (Harrelson) and G. Gordon Liddy (Theroux) accidentally toppled the presidency they were vigorously trying to protect, and their own families.
Chronicling actions on the ground, the tale begins in 1971 when the White House hires Hunt, a former officer in the CIA, and Liddy, a former FBI agent, to investigate the Pentagon Papers leak.
After failing upward, the unlikely pair lands on the Committee to Re-Elect the President, plotting several unbelievable covert ops – including bugging the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate complex.
