Drama Orson Welles produces his greatest film, Citizen Kane, despite the opposition of the film's de facto subject, William Randolph Hearst.

	Media	Author	Review
		Keith Phipps AV Club	"John Logan and director Benjamin Ross open the film by drawing somewhat questionable parallels between Welles, his creation, and his adversary, but they ultimately resort to simply dramatizing the facts in typical HBO style"
		Laura Fries Variety	"A colorful account of the combustible egos involved in what is arguably the best American film ever made, 'RKO 281'"
