Synopsis: Inspired by the true story of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, The Nation’s Savior tells the story of what struggles Lincoln (Cage) had to face throughout his entire life. Lincoln was born in Kentucky and wasn’t able to get schooling and made a name for himself. Over the course of Lincoln’s lifetime he had to endure a lot more than most people all while leading the nation. He freed the slaves, lead the country, and helped make our country what it is today. His story should be an inspiration to us all.

Two Thumbs up! A truly amazing film that is way overdue. Lincoln has such an amazing story and this film makes it even more amazing. The most critically acclaimed film of the year deserves every good review it has gotten.
