Michael Caine and the late Glenda Jackson star in the inspirational new film from Oliver Parker (The Best Marigold Hotel, Mamma Mia).
In the summer of 2014 – the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings – Bernie Jordan (Caine) made headlines after staging a ‘great escape’ from his care home to join fellow war veterans on the beach in Normandy and commemorate their fallen comrades. Oliver Parker’s warm, bittersweet film celebrates an adventure that captured the imagination of the world and the culmination of Bernie’s 60-year marriage to Rene (Jackson), while movingly exploring the lasting trauma of war.
