In the summer of 2014, Bernie Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines. He had staged a "great escape" from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings.   Bernie's adventure, spanning a mere 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Irene (Glenda Jackson). The story celebrates their love without sentimentality and with an eye to the lessons we can all learn from the Greatest Generation.
