Anthony Hopkins leads an all-star cast in this inspirational true story of courage and the strength of community in the darkest days of the 20th century.

“James Hawes directs with warmth and unfussiness, and is careful to show the wound-opening pain, as well as the pride, that the belated recognition of Winton’s achievements gave him.” – The Times

“A remarkable World War II story told conventionally but elevated by a superb Anthony Hopkins.” – Time Out

“With riveting performances by the extraordinary Anthony Hopkins, Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Flynn plus every supporting actor, it moved me beyond words.” – IMDb
