Daniel Day-Lewis won the Academy Award and Gold Globe Award for best actor for his role in Lincoln.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Steven Spielberg, Lincoln provides an intimate look at the legendary 19th century US president’s most perilous and revealing moments, at a time when the dark shadow of slavery lifts and a country torn apart by war must be made whole.
In the final four months of Abraham Lincoln’s (Daniel Day-Lewis) life and presidency, the leader must find a way to plot a forward path for a nation shattered by civil war.
A rich human drama plays out as Lincoln strives to end the devastating war and fights to permanently abolish slavery. It will be an act of true national daring. To do this, Lincoln must call upon all the skill, courage and moral fortitude for which he will become legend.
Catch the historical drama and suspense when Lincoln hits local cinemas on March 28.
