Story
Reagan follows Ronald Reagan's path from Hollywood actor to the 40th president of the United States. The story is told through the voice of Viktor Petrovich, a former KGB agent whose life becomes inextricably linked with Reagan's after the Soviets first take notice of him as an actor.
Set between the worlds of American entertainment and international politics, the film presents Reagan's rise as a story of overcoming the odds. Seeing him through the eyes of a former Soviet intelligence officer offers an unusual perspective on a man whose influence reached far beyond the screen. His public image, his determination, and the attention he draws from his opponents sit at the center of this historical drama.
