The film is about Winston Churchill, one of the wittiest and hammiest men who ever lived.

- Churchill and King George awkwardly agreeing on when will be best to hold their weekly meetings.
- Reportedly a real Churchill quote: "Tell the Privy Seal that I'm sealed in the privy, and I can only deal with one shit at a time."
- Churchill verbally sparring with Halifax and saying, "Will you stop interrupting me while I am interrupting you?!"
- Mixed with heartwarming, the scene where Churchill decides to use the Underground and asks a young girl how to get to Westminster.
- Churchill stepping out of the bath and surprising his secretary. "I'm coming out in a state of nature!"
- Churchill defines Attlee as "a sheep in sheep's clothing."note
- When Churchill calls FDR and tries to find a way to get some military hardware, he brings up the P-40 fighters "that we paid for...with the money we borrowed from you."
- The little girl shouting "Never!" when she's being asked by Churchill if she'll give into the enemy.
- Churchill writes down the names of the people he speaks with on the Underground, and repeats them during his speech to the Outer Cabinet. The assembled MPs trade confused looks, wondering why they've never heard of these Very Important People who have been advising the Prime Minister.
