London, 2008. In her well-appointed apartment, the elderly former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (Streep) prepares breakfast for her husband Denis, as she has every morning of their married life. It’s not until Margaret’s personal aide bustles in that we see that Margaret sits at the table alone. Denis is alive only in her imagination.

The Iron Lady is a surprising and intimate portrait of one of the twentieth century’s most famous and influential women. A stellar cast and a magnetic performance from Meryl Streep make this an unmissable biopic.
