The story of Franklin Roosevelt's bout with polio at age 40 in 1921 and how his family (and especially wife Eleanor) cope with his illness. From being stricken while vacationing at Campobello to his triumphant nominating speech for Al Smith's presidency in 1924, the story follows the various influences on his life and his determination to recover. Based on the award winning Broadway play of the same name.

Beginning at the Roosevelt family's vacation home on Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada (on the border with Maine), in the summer of 1921, Franklin is depicted in early scenes as vigorously athletic, enjoying games with his children and sailing his boat.

Produced with the cooperation of the Roosevelt family, Eleanor Roosevelt was present on the set during location shooting at the Roosevelt estate in Hyde Park, New York.
