Mike Nichols’ iconic film was the highest grossing film of 1967 and was nominated for seven Academy Awards, winning Best Director for Nichols. The film launched the career of star Dustin Hoffman, and its Simon and Garfunkel score remains a classic. Numerous quotes — like “Plastics” and “Are you trying to seduce me?” — have entered the cultural lexicon.

Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) has just finished college and, back at his parents’ house, he’s trying to avoid the one question everyone keeps asking: What does he want to do with his life? An unexpected diversion crops up when he is seduced by Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), a bored housewife and friend of his parents. But what begins as a fun tryst turns complicated when Benjamin falls for the one woman Mrs. Robinson demanded he stay away from, her daughter, Elaine (Katharine Ross).
