“Never give up. Never give in.”

Britain is collapsing. In May 1940, Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) becomes Prime Minister as Nazi forces sweep across Europe, and his war cabinet fractures between those who want to fight and those pushing for surrender. Elizabeth Layton (Lily James) watches him navigate pressure from Viscount Halifax (Stephen Dillane) and King George VI (Ben Mendelsohn) as the country teeters on the edge of capitulation.
