The film largely covers Hoover's role in the establishment of the FBI in the 1930s. When Armie Hammer's character, Clyde Tolson, questions the legality of what he's ordered to do, Hoover replies: "Sometimes you need to bend the rules a little in order to keep your country safe."

I mean, I don't give a crap if he was gay or not."
