RKO 281 1999 R, 83 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Benjamin Ross
Cast: Liev Schreiber, James Cromwell, Melanie Griffith, John Malkovich, Brenda Blethyn, Roy Scheider, Liam Cunningham, David Suchet, Fiona Shaw, Anastasia Hille
Project 281 was RKO's name for the production of "Citizen Kane," which would become largely regarded as the greatest film ever made. Liev Schreiber plays Orson Welles, director of the film, and James Cromwell is William Randolph Hearst, upon whom the film is based. This is the story of that production and the attempts of Hearst to stop the release of the film, which shows him in a poor light. Some good performances in this HBO-produced film.
