Summary: England 1554 and Princess Elizabeth remains in grave danger from a dying Queen Mary, a Catholic, who has weakened England financially and religiously. On her death Elizabeth is made Queen and sets about wiping out all opposition to her leadership.

Shekhar Kapur's visually stunning film tells the story of Queen Elizabeth I (Cate Blanchett), from her days as an innocent young woman to her coronation, up to the formation of her reputation as England's stern 'Virgin Queen.' A lush portrait of history, full of pomp, intrigue, and romance and anchored by Blanchett's award-winning performance and colourful direction from Kapur. The excellent supporting cast includes Geoffrey Rush, Joseph Fiennes, Christopher Eccleston, and Richard Attenborough.
