The Gathering Storm
In his darkest hours as both a husband and a politician, Winston Churchill found the strength to wage a solitary battle against Nazi tyranny. Five-time Oscar(R) nominee Albert Finney (Erin Brockovich) and Oscar(R) winner Vanessa Redgrave (Julia) star as Winston and Clementine Churchill in this intimate story that chronicles the obstacles they faced in their marriage against the backdrop of the growing threat of a second World War. Beginning with Churchill as a washed-up sixty-year-old politician who had lost most of his fortune, the film details his resurgence to leadership in the 1930s—a period in which he fought a bitter battle against his own peers to deliver a much-needed message about the perils of allowing Germany to rearm itself after World War I. Also with Jim Broadbent, Linus Roache, Lena Headey, Tom Wilkinson and Derek Jacobi.
