June 1944. Allied Forces stand on the brink: a massive army is secretly assembled on the south coast of Britain| poised to re-take Nazi-occupied Europe. One man
stands in their way: Winston Churchill. Behind the iconic figure and rousing speeches: a man who has faced political ridicule| military failure and a speech
impediment. An impulsive| sometimes bullying personality - fearful| obsessive and hurting. Fearful of repeating| on his disastrous command| the mass slaughter of
1915| when hundreds of thousands of young men were cut down on the beaches of Gallipoli. Obsessed with fulfilling historical greatness: his destiny. Exhausted by
years of war and plagued by depression| Churchill is a shadow of the hero who has resisted Hitler's Blitzkrieg. Should the D-Day landings fail| he is terrified he'll
be remembered as an architect of carnage. Political opponents sharpen their knives. General Eisenhower and Field Marshal Montgomery are increasingly frustrated by
Churchill's attempts to stop...
Churchill gets sterling work out of Brian Cox in the leading role, but it isn't enough to overcome a muddled and ultimately unsuccessful approach to an incredible
real-life story.
