Story: |
Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments
Men is an action drama focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by
FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves
and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission:
with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders
to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys - seven museum
directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo
than the M-1 - possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they
were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction
of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend
mankind's greatest achievements.
