Brian Cox, Miranda Richardson and John Slattery star in this ticking-clock thriller following Winston Churchill in the 24 hours before D-Day.
As allied forces stand on the south coast of Britain, poised to invade Nazi-occupied Europe, they await Churchill’s (Cox) decision on whether the invasion will actually move ahead. Fearful of repeating his mistakes from the beaches of Gallipoli, exhausted by years of war, plagued by depression and obsessed with fulfilling historical greatness, Churchill is also faced with constant criticism from his political opponents; General Eisenhower (Slattery) and Field Marshal Montgomery (Julian Wadham).
Only the unflinching support of Churchill’s brilliant, unflappable wife Clementine (Richardson) can halt the Prime Minister’s physical and mental collapse and help lead him to greatness.
