The film’s official synopsis reads, “From dusty small-town roots to the glitter of Hollywood and then on to commanding the world stage, REAGAN is a cinematic journey of overcoming the odds. Told through the voice of Viktor Petrovich, a former KGB agent whose life becomes inextricably linked with Ronald Reagan’s when Reagan first caught the Soviets’ attention as an actor in Hollywood, this film offers a perspective as unique as it is captivating.”
Reagan, starring Dennis Quaid, was released in the theatres in the US on August 30.
