The official synopsis of the film «Reagan» states: «From dusty provincial roots to the glamour of Hollywood, and then onto the world stage, 'Reagan' is a cinematic journey of overcoming obstacles. Told through the voice of Victor Petrovich (John Voight), a former KGB agent whose life became intertwined with Reagan’s when the Soviets first took notice of him as a Hollywood actor, this film offers a perspective as unique as it is captivating».
The film highlights key moments from Reagan’s early years, his Hollywood career, and his rise to political power. It explores both his personal life and public image, showing how his past shaped his path to becoming the 40th President of the United States.
While the film is not available for streaming subscriptions, it can be rented on digital platforms such as Apple TV and Vudu for $ 19.99. Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) rentals usually cost about $ 5 less, so viewers can expect to rent «Reagan» for approximately $ 14.99 for a 48-hour viewing.
Lionsgate, the company distributing the film for ShowBiz Direct, announced in early October that «Reagan» would be available for PVOD starting on Tuesday, October 15.
When «Reagan» first premiered, Rotten Tomatoes critics gave it a lower rating. The site’s critics' consensus stated: «While the film 'Reagan' undoubtedly admires Reagan as a person, its overly sentimental and glossy portrayal of history turns the 40th President of the United States into a caricature».
However, after the election of President Donald Trump, the film experienced a surge in popularity. The film, in which an actor who publicly supported Trump at a rally in Coachella, California on October 13, calling him «the favorite president of the 20th century», quickly rose to the top of home sales.
Released on Blu-ray on November 19, «Reagan» now leads the charts for best-selling Blu-rays on Amazon
