The Iron Lady revisits recent history through the eyes of the leader who shaped it—charting the compelling rise and fall of trail-blazing politician Margaret Thatcher, the controversial former Prime Minister of the UK and the first woman ever elected as head of government in the West. Two-time Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep brings Margaret Thatcher to vivid life over a 40-year span, delivering a performance of great authenticity and sensitivity. Combining fact, fiction and poetic flights of imagination into a new breed of biopic, director Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!) creates a piercing portrait which reveals the many faces of Thatcher: the hard-nosed conservative; the woman who demolished the barriers of gender and class in a male-dominated world; the spirited wife and mother who longed to change her country for the better. Exposing the private life behind the headlines, The Iron Lady is a moving journey into the heart of an extraordinary, complex woman. Jim Broadbent co-stars.
