Win tickets to the UK premiere of Darkest Hour

During the early days of World War II, with the fall of France imminent, Britain faces its darkest hour as the threat of invasion looms. As the Nazi forces advance, and with the Allied army cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk, the fate of Western Europe hangs on the leadership of the newly-appointed Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman). He must confront the ultimate choice: negotiate with Hitler and save the British people at a terrible cost or rally the nation and fight on against incredible odds.

Directed by Joe Wright, and starring Kristin Scott Thomas as Clementine, Churchill’s beloved wife, and Lily James as his assistant Elizabeth Layton, Darkest Hour is the dramatic and inspiring story of four weeks in 1940 during which Churchill’s courage to lead changed the course of history.

Darkest Hour is in cinemas from 12 January 2018.
