Elizabeth
A young and vulnerable woman ascends the throne in a time of religious controversy, low morals and political instability. The nation is divided, ill-defended and far from prosperous economically. The film depicts the unseemly scrabble for power behind the throne. There are plots and counter-plots, alliances and misalliances, lies and dissembling.

You could watch this film merely as a political thriller dressed in doublet and hose, but as a Christian, if you do, you've been taken in.
