'Reis' (Turkish: ) is a 2017 Turkish biographical film about Recep Tayyip Erdoan, the incumbent President of Turkey. It was released shortly before the constitutional referendum which aimed for a transition to an executive presidency.

Controversy and reception
Hdaverdi 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. 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 Ad: K.O.Z.'s reception.
