Overview

  • The feature follows the 20 days leading up to the 2025 inauguration, which Amazon describes as offering “unprecedented access.”
  • Amazon MGM Studios says the film will open in theaters worldwide, with a three-part companion docuseries and a later Prime Video run.
  • The teaser shows scenes at the Capitol Rotunda, the White House, Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower, including a speech‑rehearsal exchange and a brief phone call.
  • The documentary is directed by Brett Ratner, whose return to a major project comes after sexual-misconduct allegations he denies.
  • Multiple outlets report Amazon licensed the project for about $40 million, with some reports citing Jeff Bezos’ personal interest in the deal, and early online reaction to the trailer was divided.
