Darkest Hour is a 2017 British biographical war drama film directed by Joe Wright (Atonement) and starring Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill. Just a few days after Winston Churchill was elected to serve as the new British Prime Minister, replacing Neville Chamberlain, who has resigned, he faces a difficult task, as the defeat against Nazi Germany seems almost sealed, and the German warmachine rolls over Western Europe. An invasion of the United Kingdom seems inevitable. The new man at the head is under pressure to negotiate a peace agreement with Adolf Hitler, who would make Britain a puppet of the Third Reich. King George VI is skeptical, and his own party is intriguing against him. Only his wife Clementine is on his side. But Churchill proves courage and fights on as the British army strand in Dunkirk, standing up for the ideals of freedom and independence that his nation represents. The film would receive 6 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Oldman.
