Death by Lightning | Official Trailer

Netflix’s Death by Lightning explores the tragic and turbulent story of President James Garfield — a man whose life and leadership were cut short by an assassin’s bullet. The film is not just a retelling of history; it’s an exploration of power, ego, and the systems that both create and destroy leaders.

Through haunting imagery and emotional performances, the trailer paints a vivid portrait of an era filled with ambition and paranoia. The cinematography captures the grandeur of 19th-century Washington D.C. while maintaining an ominous tone that mirrors Garfield’s doomed presidency.

Early glimpses suggest that Death by Lightning could stand alongside Netflix’s best political dramas — gripping, intelligent, and unsettlingly relevant. For viewers who love history told with cinematic depth, this one is not to be missed.
