Reagan & Gorbachev is a limited series starring Michael Douglas as President Ronald Reagan, and Christoph Waltz as Mikhail Gorbachev.
Adapted from the Ken Adelman book Reagan at Reykjavik: Forty-Eight Hours That Ended the Cold War, the series tells the dramatic account of the historic 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Iceland, the definitive weekend that was the key turning point in the Cold War — from the vantage point of Reagan's arms control director. The leaders met for a 48-hour summit in Reykjavik. Planned as a short, inconsequential gathering to outline future talks, the meeting quickly turned to major international issues, including the Strategic Defense Initiative and the possibility of eliminating all nuclear weapons. Those negotiations laid the groundwork for the most sweeping arms accord in history the following year. It was a weekend that changed the world, and the series provides an honest and up-close portrait of Reagan at one of his finest and most challenging moments, per its makers.
