Citizen Kane
1941/04/17 (US) | Mystery, Drama
Some called him a hero...others called him a heel.
Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.
