Synopsis:

It's got a dose of Team America. A bit of Braveheart. Nazis invading London. And a whole host of laughs. With creative puppetry, a brilliant British cast including Ewan McGregor and Stephan Merchant and a sense of unashamedly British humour that draws on everything from Viz and 'Allo 'Allo - Jackboots On Whitehall is an entertaining and rebellious film for all to enjoy - or as we like to call it: Team America meets Inglorious Basterds! The action begins as the Nazis - led by the campest Hitler on record (Alan Cumming) - plan an invasion of England. As Winston Churchill (Timothy Spall) plots an evacuation to Scot Land... somewhere in England's green and pleasant countryside, farmworker Chris (Ewan McGregor) is trying to win the heart of Daisy (Rosamund Pike) while rueing the fact that he can't fight for his country because his "hands are too big". When the Germans hit town, it falls to Chris and his countryside cohorts to come to the rescue and the raggle-taggle band head to Hadrian's Wall to seek help from the "bloodthirsty" Scots. Jackboots on Whitehall takes more than a few liberties with history and features an all star voice cast.

First-time helmer Edward McHenry heads up this U.K. war spoof using stop-motion action figures with voices provided by a top-notch British cast headed by Ewan McGregor and Rosamund Pike. Jackboots on Whitehall explores what would happen if the Battle of Britain had been won by the Germans. Timothy Spall provides the voice of Winston Churchill, while Adolf Hitler is realized by Alan Cumming, with the rest of the cast rounded out by Tom Wilkinson and Richard O'Brien.

A satirical alternative history of World War II where the Nazis seize London and England must band together to prevent a full on invasion.
