IMDb 8.2 Metacritic 100 RT 99%

Stop what you're doing and watch Citizen Kane tonight—it's a masterpiece that basically invented modern cinema, and those perfect scores aren't hype. You'll finally understand why everyone won't shut up about it, and at nearly a century old, it still hits harder than most movies made last year.

Plot

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.
