The Iron Lady
A portrait of the life of Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep), with a focus on the price she paid for power.
Written by award-winning writer Abi Morgan, the film tells the story of a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world.
The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and insightful portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman. Oscar prognosticators predict that Streep and this strong role - the polarizing first female UK Prime Minister - could be the perfect combination.
The supporting roles are played by Jim Broadbent (Denis Thathcher), Richard E.Grant (Michael Heseltine), Anthony Head (Geoffrey Howe), Julian Wadham (Francis Pym) and David Westhead (Reg Prentice).
