影片讲述英国首相丘吉尔在作为首相期间面临的最重要的审判:是向纳粹妥协做俘虏,还是团结人民群起反抗?丘吉尔将集结整个国家为自由奋战,试图改变世界历史进程,度过黎明前的黑暗。Within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.
