Unlike most presidents, Ronald Reagan's terms were packed with significant accomplishments to benefit team USA = its citizens. This includes his courage in recovering the USA economy from the dismal years of his predecessor. This movie does not bash any person or any party but rather highlights the uniqueness of America and the possibilities each of us may achieve or otherwise held accountable. For instance, the air traffic controllers strike of 1981. It's illegal (per our democratically elected representatives and senators) for federal employees to strike. The 11,359 employees disregarded that fact and wound up being fired as required per the laws the president was bound to enforce. Reagan molded the USA to be more than it was when he entered office. Reagan proves the USA is a winning team when it collectively and necessarily dispels socialism and communism.
Overall encouraging, the movie is a solid 'introduction' to the life and leadership of a good man and world leader. The full Ronald and Nancy Reagan story is worthy of a much longer movie.
