Between the stellar casts of David O. Russell's American Hustle and George Clooney's Monuments Men, it's a toss up which one boasts the most star power. The curtain has been lifted on 'Hustle', and it looks incredible, but now we're getting our first real glimpse at what Monuments Men has to offer.
Clooney's directorial follow-up to The Ides of March is a WWII ensemble that has him starring alongside Matt Damon, Jean Dujardin, John Goodman, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville and John Goodman. If that's enough to get you excited, check out the synopsis below...
Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action-thriller 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.
Monuments Men opens on December 8th.
