As the only U.S. president re-elected three times, he brought America out of the Great Depression, and led us though World War II. But the most formidable challenge Franklin Delano Roosevelt ever faced was one the country never saw. Kenneth Branagh and Cynthia Nixon star in the stirring true story of one man's search for public redemption from the depths of personal adversity.

The film follows Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Branagh), left a paraplegic from polio in 1921 at age 39, as he seeks out a "miracle" cure in the backwoods of rural Georgia. As his wife Eleanor (Nixon) takes up the mantle of the public Roosevelt, Franklin battles the stigma of polio and encounters those affected not just by disability, but by poverty, illiteracy and racism. In time he comes to learn that though he may never walk again, he can still lead.

In Warm Springs, with help from a devoted therapist (Kathy Bates) and, eventually, his chief aide (David Paymer) and wife, a future four-term president finds his personal and political soul.

Written by Margaret Nagle. Directed by multiple Emmy®-winner Joseph Sargent (HBO Films' Something the Lord Made).
