Dustin Hoffman's breakout performance, the Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack and highly quotable script make this clever 1967 comedy one of the most beloved American films of all time.

Benjamin Braddock (Hoffman) has just finished college and is already lost in a sea of confusion. Angsty and directionless as only a recent grad can be, he finds himself falling into a sexual entanglement with a friend of his parents', the indomitable Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), before turning his attention to her college-age daughter (Katharine Ross). 

Visually imaginative and impeccably acted, with a clever, endlessly quotable script by Buck Henry '52 (based on the novel by Charles Webb) and Mike Nichols' Oscar-winning direction, The Graduate had the kind of cultural impact that comes along only once in a generation.
