Citizen Kane 
is a 1941 American drama film 
by Orson Welles, 
its producer, 
co-author, director and star. 
The picture was Welles's first feature film.
 Nominated for Academy Awards in nine categories,
 it won an Academy Award for Best Writing (Original Screenplay)
 by Herman J. Mankiewicz and Welles. 
Considered by many critics, filmmakers, and fans to be the greatest film of all time, 
Citizen Kane was voted as such in five consecutive Sight & Sound polls of critics, 
until it was displaced by Vertigo in the 2012 poll. 
It topped the American Film Institute's 100 Years ... 100 Movies list in 1998, 
as well as AFI's 2007 update. 
Citizen Kane is particularly praised for its cinematography, music, and narrative structure, which were innovative for its time.


The quasi-biographical film examines the life and legacy of 
Charles Foster Kane, 
played by Welles, 
a character based in part upon the American newspaper magnate 
William Randolph Hearst, 
Chicago tycoons Samuel Insull and Harold McCormick, 
and aspects of Welles's own life. 
Upon its release, 
Hearst prohibited mention of the film in any of his newspapers. 
Kane's career in the publishing world is born of idealistic social service, 
but gradually evolves into a ruthless pursuit of power. 
Narrated principally through flashbacks, 
the story is told through the research of a
newsreel reporter seeking to solve the 
mystery of the newspaper magnate's dying word: "Rosebud".
