Plot Summary

The true story of Sir Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realized it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed? Fifty years later, it's 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn't able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It's not until a live BBC television show, 'That's Life', surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children - now adults - that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.

Trivia Helena Bonham Carter's maternal grandfather, Eduardo Proper de Callejon, also rescued many Jews from the Holocaust, by forging Spanish exit visas. See more »
Goofs In 1938 Nicky answers his phone at home and straight away speaks to his friend calling from Czechoslovakia. At that time all trunk (long distance) and international calls to and from the UK were operator-connected and there would have been a delay before the two parties could speak to each other.
