On the big screen: Darkest Hour

Director: Joe Wright.

Within days of becoming prime minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill must face one of his most turbulent and defining choices – 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, the threat of invasion is imminent and, with an unprepared public, a sceptical 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. – Nu Metro.
