In the opening scene of this classic film, tycoon "Charles Foster Kane" is on his deathbed at Xanadu, his decaying estate. As he dies, the snowglobe he was holding slips from his hand and shatters. He utters one last word, "ROSEBUD." Thus begins the journey and genius of Citizen Kane , as reporter "Thompson" searches for the mysterious meaning behind the last word of the publishing magnate.
