Reis describes Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's childhood and his mayoral tenure. The movie ends when he entered prison as a consequence of reading a religiously intolerant poem in Siirt ("minarets are bayonets, domes are helmets, mosques are our barracks, believers are soldiers").[3]
Hüdaverdi Yavuz, the director of the movie, refused to attend the movie's premiere, citing various troubles during the shooting, unpaid staff, and his forcefully reduced involvement in the post-production process as reasons.[4] IMDb attributed the film a rating of 1.8 based on over 71,000 ratings. Reis attracted shy of 67,580 viewers in the first three days (March 3-5). Despite the low rating, Reis managed to eclipse Kod Adı: K.O.Z.'s reception.[5]
