On November 22, 1963, one president’s life was taken and a new leader emerged — Lyndon Johnson. Rob Reiner’s film LBJ tells the story of a politician who was at risk of fading into irrelevancy but, upon Kennedy’s death, seized his moment to rescue a nation and claim his place as one of America’s most important presidents. The film offers an intimate look at Johnson’s masterful political maneuvering and handling of the presidential powers during one of the most difficult weeks in this country’s history.
