Synopsis

Reds is a film based on the true story of Jack Reed (played by Warren Beatty) and Louise Bryant (Diane Keaton), two American socialists and writers.

During WW1 they actively campaigned for and wrote about socialist causes. When the news of the Russian Revolution broke this was seen as the chance for socialism to gain a greater foothold and popularity.

Reed went to Russia to see what could be learned from the revolution and took the ideas back to the US, forming the Communist Labor Party of America.

Things weren't all plain-sailing though, both in the relationship between Reed and Bryant and in politics.
