In June, 1944, the Allied Forces stand on the brink of the greatest invasion of history: D-Day and the Ianding on the beaches of Normandy, France-the first step in the campaign to free Europe from the tyranny of Nazi Germany. But even as close to one miIIion AIIied soIdiers are secretly assembled on the south coast of EngIand preparing to invade Nazi-occupied Europe, Great Britain's iconic Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Brian Cox) struggIes with the decision to embark on the operation. Fearful of repeating, on his disastrous command, the mass sIaughter of more than 500,000 soldiers during World War l's Battle of GallipoIi in 1915, he is terrified that if the D-Day landings faiI, he wilI be remembered as the architect of the war's greatest carnage. As D-Day approaches, ChurchiII-exhausted by years of war, plagued by depression and obsessed with fulfilIing historicaI greatness-finds himself at odds with his fellow AIlied military leaders-turned-poIiticaI opponents: U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower (John SIattery) and British Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery (Julian Wadham). Meeting with ChurchilI in the days preceding the pIanned invasion, the two grow increasingIy frustrated by the fearful and fatigued ChurchiII's reluctance to invade and attempts to stop the operation. It is only with the intervention of King George VI that ChurchiII agrees to move forward with the invasion, with the two discussing the possibiIity of observing the D-Day Iandings aboard an operational cruiser. It is ChurchiIl's brilIiant and unfIappable wife Clementine ChurchilI (Miranda Richardson) who keeps him strong during those dark and possibly dire days. By injecting into her husband ever more confidence, courage and conviction-and acting as both an emotionaI bIanket and a personal sounding board-"CIemmie" halts the exceedingIy unweIl Winston's physicaI and mental coIlapse, inspiring him to become a true hero of his age and Britain's most ceIebrated Ieader. |
