  Great story. Wonderful acting that takes place in the actual location that President Reagan and Communist Party Secretary Gorbachev faced off in a chilling one on one negotiation with the fate of the world literally in their hands. Jeff Daniels becomes Reagan and Jared Harris is an amazing Gorbachev. JK Simmons does the same as Shultz. The movie is based on the private notes of Secretary of State George Shultz and offer an insiders view not seen before. Get your popcorn early because the movie tension takes off and doesn't slow down as nuclear war appears inevitable. The final outcome hinged on one word. This is a must-see, well-told, movie and a timely story for all of us interested in world events. Five Stars!
