First look picture: Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill

Universal Pictures has released this first look image showing Gary Oldman’s amazing transformation into British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in Joe Wright’s Darkest Hour.

Within days of becoming Prime Minister, Churchill must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation.

As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.

DARKEST HOUR WILL RELEASE IN UK CINEMAS ON 29 DECEMBER 2017.
