Der junge Löwe (1972)
ActionAbenteuerDramaKriegsfilm
In diesem Film erzählt Richard Attenborough vom stürmischen Aufstieg eines der größten Politiker des 20. Jahrhunderts – mit einem außerordentlich komplexen Privatleben. Eitel, rebellisch und extrem ehrgeizig, ist Winston Churchill das Produkt der leidenschaftlichen Verbindung zwischen dem politischen Versager Lord Randolph und der hochmütigen, in Brooklyn geborenen Lady Jennie. Von seinen Eltern entfremdet, investiert der junge Winston seine gesamte Energie in seine Bemühungen, Liebe durch Leistung zu gewinnen. Er beginnt seine Laufbahn als Kriegskorrespondent in Indien und wird später während des Burenkriegs in Südafrika zum Helden. Schließlich stürzt sich Churchill in eine politische Karriere, die ihn aus der Ächtung direkt in die heiligen Hallen des Parlaments führt. DER JUNGE LÖWE ist die unvergessliche Geschichte und das große Abenteuer eines Mannes in seinem ganzen Glanz und Ruhm!
