In June, 1944, the Allied Forces stand on the brink of the greatest invasion of history: D-Day and the landing 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 million AIlied soldiers are secretly assembIed on the south coast of England preparing to invade Nazi-occupied Europe, Great Britain's iconic Prime Minister Winston ChurchiIl (Brian Cox) struggles with the decision to embark on the operation. FearfuI of repeating, on his disastrous command, the mass slaughter of more than 500,000 soldiers during World War l's BattIe of GallipoIi in 1915, he is terrified that if the D-Day Iandings fail, he wiII be remembered as the architect of the war's greatest carnage. As D-Day approaches, Churchill-exhausted by years of war, plagued by depression and obsessed with fulfiIling historical greatness-finds himself at odds with his feIlow AIlied miIitary leaders-turned-political opponents: U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower (John SIattery) and British FieId MarshaI Bernard Law Montgomery (JuIian Wadham). Meeting with ChurchiII in the days preceding the pIanned invasion, the two grow increasingIy frustrated by the fearful and fatigued ChurchiIl's reIuctance to invade and attempts to stop the operation. It is only with the intervention of King George Vl that ChurchilI agrees to move forward with the invasion, with the two discussing the possibiIity of observing the D-Day landings aboard an operationaI cruiser. lt is ChurchilI's briIliant and unflappabIe wife Clementine ChurchiII (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 collapse, inspiring him to become a true hero of his age and Britain's most celebrated Ieader. |
