Churchill

Synopsis

A ticking clock thriller set against the 24 hours before D-Day. A bruising portrait that delves into the dark side of one of Britian's most celebrated leaders, Winston Churchill.
The Allied forces stand on the brink of the greatest invasion in history: the landing on the beaches of Normandy, France – the first step in the campaign to free Europe from the tyranny of Nazi Germany. But at the centre is Churchill, the UK prime minister who fears that if the invasion fails, history will remember him chiefly as an architect of carnage, and the conflicted leader must confront his destiny.
