A little-known general refuses to accept defeat after France collapses in the two-part historical drama De Gaulle, arriving in theaters and on digital this November and December.
The story begins in June 1940, when France falls and signs the armistice. Amid the chaos, an unknown general flees to London with no army, no backing, and almost no hope. His only weapon is the conviction that France has not laid down its arms.
He takes the ultimate gamble, trying to convince the world that the battle for France is neither over nor lost. Reality seems determined to prove him wrong. Little by little, though, resistance fighters, rebellious students, and determined soldiers in England, France, and Africa rally to his cause, and their faith, audacity, and thirst for freedom defy what history seemed to have written in advance.
The film is split into two chapters. De Gaulle – Part I: Resistance arrives in theaters and on digital on November 6. De Gaulle – Part II: Liberty follows in theaters and on digital on December 4.
