The film

President Ronald Reagan races against time to salvage a deal with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that could dismantle nuclear arsenals—or ignite disaster. With pressure mounting on all sides, every word spoken brings the world closer to peace... or destruction.

The Real Review

This political thriller splits opinion right down the middle. It follows President Reagan and Soviet leader Gorbachev in a tense race to broker a historic nuclear deal, and some find the high-stakes drama gripping. Others feel the film is too dry and by-the-numbers, failing to truly ignite despite strong performances from leads Jared Harris and Jeff Daniels.
