Reykjavik is set at the most dangerous time of the Cold War. It is the scene of a long and tense weekend in which political enemies Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev meet in Iceland to decide whether there will be peace or war in the world.
Daniels plays US President Reagan, Harris is Soviet leader Gorbachev and Simmons is US Secretary of State George Shultz.
Michael Russell Gunn will direct from his own script, in his feature directorial debut, following his work with SK Global as showrunner on the acclaimed limited series Thai Cave Rescue for Netflix. He will also produce alongside John Logan Pierson (It Ends with Us, Thai Cave Rescue). Production will begin on location in Reykjavik, Iceland in early October, with extensive filming at Höfði House, the actual site of the 1986 summit.
