After polio threatens his political career in the early 1920s, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Kenneth Branagh) desperately searches for a cure to his newly acquired disease, hoping to regain the use of his legs. He learns of a promising spa in Warm Springs, Ga., and travels there, only to find it dilapidated. Determined to overcome polio, Roosevelt invests in the spa's revitalization and sets about recovering, aided by the support of his wife (Cynthia Nixon) and physical therapist (Kathy Bates).

Funny thing: Even if Branagh never "becomes" FDR in the fullest and most satisfying sense, his performance takes hold of your imagination and makes the misgivings almost irrelevant.

Fantastically acted, very inspiring, moving story of FDR's struggle back from polio and the difference Warm Springs made to his life and the difference his involvement make in the treatment of the disease.

Although a bit slow at times, I found this to be an interesting history lesson about President Roosevelt's struggle with polio and the resulting paralysis.
