Holed up in a secluded ranch, bedridden American screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz has sixty short days to turn in the first draft of the Citizen Kane screenplay. Grappling with alcohol dependency, Mankiewicz collaborates with Orson Welles, Hollywood's 24-year-old golden boy, and gets to work. Mankiewicz opts to draw inspiration from his tenure at MGM, his association with newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, and the latter's 20-year-old paramour, actress Marion Davies.

« The arguments over whether Citizen Kane is the greatest film ever made will rage on forever. But the greatest film about Citizen Kane – and just about any other movie – has definitely arrived. Fincher’s eleventh film is a lavish love letter to old Hollywood in all its glory, cynicism and wild extravagance. » (Time Out)
« Mank taps into a vein of feeling that reaches farther than mere family tribute. The film also serves as a political cri de coeur, one that inspires as much as it dismays. » (Vanity Fair)
