Plot summary
Ronald Reagan wins the presidency in 1980, and his new administration needs a press secretary. James Brady is chosen for the job, which he holds for sixty-nine days. On March 30, 1981, Reagan visits the Washington Hilton Hotel for a speech to the AFL-CIO. Brady is unsure about attending, but joins the president's staff and guards as Reagan leaves the hotel. John Hinckley Jr. waits with the press outside. As Brady walks toward the reporters, Hinckley fires a revolver at the president. The first bullet hits Brady and passes beneath his brain, shattering his brain cavity. Three others are wounded, Reagan among them. At home, Sarah Brady learns of the shooting from a television report and goes to the hospital, where she finds her husband alive but in serious condition.
