People remember when Regan was shot but many don't know the White House press secretary was also shot and sustained a brain injury leaving him paralyzed and with brain damage. This is one of those great made for TV movies that brings to life real events everyone should know about.
Anyone who opposes background checks on firearms purchases should watch this movie.
Beau Bridges dies a great job showing all the physical and emotional struggles of rehabilitation. Joan Allen plays his wife. The details are touching and sad. He was witty and astute.
Not that much about the Brady Bill till the end. Nor that much about the assassin either. But it does show the effect of easy gun access on the innocent victim and his family.
