Frank_Pierson's made-for-cable adaptation of Nicholas VonHoffman's biography, Citizen Cohn stars James_Woods as the controversial lawyer Roy Cohn.

In the 1940s and early '50s, Cohn became one of the most powerful men in the country after becoming an important associate of Senator Joseph McCarthy (Joe_Don_Baker) and his Communist witch hunts.
