Never never never surrender
In May 1940, the fate of World War II hangs on Winston Churchill, who must decide whether to negotiate with Adolf Hitler or fight on knowing that it could mean the end of the British Empire.
German (Deutsch)
Erst wenige Tage im Amt, steht der neue britische Premierminister als Nachfolger von Neville Chamberlain 1940 vor einer Mammutaufgabe. Die gegnerische Streitmacht stürmt West-Europa, die Niederlage gegen Nazi-Deutschland ist beinahe schon besiegelt – also steht Winston Churchill unter Druck, einen Frieden mit Adolf Hitler zu verhandeln, der Großbritannien zu einer Marionette des Dritten Reiches machen würde. Während die britische Armee in Dünkirchen strandet, beweist Churchill Courage und kämpft weiter. In seiner wohl dunkelsten Stunde als Premier muss er den baldigen Einmarsch der Nazis verhindern, sich gegenüber seiner eigenen Partei und dem skeptischen König George VI. durchsetzen, seine Nation vereinen, kurz: den Lauf der Geschichte entscheidend ändern …

French (Français)
En mai 1940, Winston Churchill devient Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni, en pleine Seconde Guerre mondiale. Sa détermination à combattre les Allemands sera décisive pour la suite des événements. Sa nomination au poste de premier ministre britannique fut un grand hasard, bien qu'il ait reçu de vives critiques sur sa politique anti-Hitler; ses discours, qui firent la une des journaux de l'époque, résonnent jusqu'à aujourd'hui.
Italian (Italiano)
Un’avvincente ed entusiasmante storia vera che inizia alla vigilia della Seconda Guerra Mondiale e che vede Winston Churchill, pochi giorni dopo la sua elezione a Primo Ministro della Gran Bretagna, affrontare una delle sfide più turbolente e determinanti della sua carriera: l’armistizio con la Germania nazista, oppure resistere per poter combattere per gli ideali, la libertà e l’autonomia di una nazione. Mentre le inarrestabili forze naziste si propagano per l’Europa occidentale e la minaccia di un’invasione si rivela imminente, con un pubblico impreparato, un re scettico ed il suo stesso partito che trama contro di lui, Churchill deve far fronte alla sua ora più buia, unire una nazione e tentare di cambiare il corso della storia mondiale.
