Trivia

Director Joe Wright , who is British, but has a deep affection for the United States and spends a lot of his time there, suggested that this movie is directly relevant to the country's political turmoil under the leadership of maverick business billionaire Donald Trump and the concern this was causing for the rest of the world. He said, "There's a big question in America at the moment: what does good leadership look like? Churchill resisted when it mattered most, and as I travel around America I am really impressed and optimistic at the level of resistance happening in the U.S. at the moment. After George W. Bush was elected, it wasn't the same level. There was more apathy then. Now people are very vocal and that's really positive." See more
