This film is adapted from Robert Harris' international bestseller. In the autumn of 1938, Europe was on the brink of war. Adolf Hitler prepared to invade Czechoslovakia, and Neville Chamberlain's government desperately sought a peaceful solution. Seeing the situation heating up, British civil servant Hugh Leggett and German diplomat Paul von Hartman went to Munich for an emergency meeting. As the negotiations began, the two old friends found themselves in a huge net of political tricks and were in extraordinary danger. Can war be avoided under the eyes of the whole world? If so, what is the price to pay?
