Synopsis

In the waning days of the Cold War, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev engage in a high-stakes negotiation that could either end the nuclear arms race or trigger an unprecedented global catastrophe. As trust erodes and hardliners on both sides prepare for conflict, the two leaders must navigate a labyrinth of espionage, internal political pressure, and personal doubt.

Racing against a ticking clock, Reagan and Gorbachev find themselves isolated from their respective governments, forced to make impossible decisions in the quiet of a summit that could reshape the world order. With every word spoken, the line between peace and destruction becomes dangerously thin, testing the resolve of every leader involved.
