From the final, hotly contested months leading up to the 1980 election, the movie explores Reagan’s journey to the nation’s highest office and the challenges he faced to define himself as a leader.

The story, according to National Geographic Channel, is told in the same riveting fashion that has made best-sellers of O’Reilly’s first four books, and must-see hits of NGC’s movie adaptations.
