Simmons plays Secretary of State George Shultz. Hope Davis, Branka Katic, Aya Cash, and Guy Burnet round out the cast. Michael Russell Gunn directs the film.
“There are moments in history when the world demands uncommon courage,” said Director Michael Russell Gunn and Producer John Logan Pierson. “The Brink of War tells the story of one such moment, when Reagan and Gorbachev changed the course of history.” They added that they are thrilled to partner with Angel Studios. The studio’s mission to elevate inspiring stories aligns with the film’s spirit.
