The most celebrated actress of our time stars as the most powerful woman of her time. Oscar®-winning , the most nominated performer in Academy Award® history, delivers the definitive portrayal of Margaret Thatcher, the enigmatic, highly controversial figure who became the first and only female Prime Minister of England. Much more than a biographical epic, is also the surprisingly intimate journey of a "common" grocer's daughter whose social ambition and steel will -- along with the love of her husband and confidant, Denis (Academy Award® winner ) -- propelled her to unprecedented power in a world dominated by men.
Combining fact, fiction and poetic flight of imagination into a new breed of biopic, director Phyllida Lloyd (MAMMA MIA!) creates a piercing portrait which reveals the many faces of Margaret 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, is a moving journey into the heart of an extraordinary, complex woman.
The Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD special features include a "The Making of The Iron Lady" featurette and four mini-featurettes, including "Recreating the Young Margaret Thatcher," "Battle in the House of Commons," "Costume Design: Pearls and Power Suits," and "Denis: The Man Behind the Woman." Note: Special features are subject to change.
