As the only U.S. president re-elected three times, he brilliantly led America through the Great Depression and World War II. But the toughest challenge Franklin Delano Roosevelt ever faced was one the country never saw. Kenneth Branagh stars in this stirring true story of Roosevelt’s battle after being left a paraplegic by polio in 1921. Cynthia Nixon plays his dedicated wife Eleanor, who took up the mantle of the public FDR while her husband sought out a "miracle" cure in a rural Georgia health spa. Also with Kathy Bates and David Paymer. Directed by Joseph Sargent (HBO’s Something the Lord Made).
