Product Description

June 6, 1944. 150,000 soldiers, 5,000 ships and 11,000 airplanes. One man's decision. The D-Day invasion - the largest military operation of World War II and the beginning of the end - marked Dwight Ike Eisenhower as one of America's most powerful military leaders. IKE: COUNTDOWN TO D-DAY follows the 90 terrifying days leading up to the invasion as Eisenhower decides the fates of thousands of soldiers while managing complex strategic relationships with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, American General George S. Patton, Britain's Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery and French President Charles de Gaulle. It was a time of no guarantees and certainly no second chances. In this climate, one man, Dwight Eisenhower, pulled the world's leaders together for one of history's most infamous battles.

Tom Selleck gives a restrained yet powerful performance as General Dwight D. Eisenhower in Ike: Countdown to D-Day. This made-for-cable feature focuses on the solemn, brilliant but plain-speaking Ike as he fine-tunes, over 90 days, tactical and political concerns involved with the Allies' imminent D-Day invasion of Normandy, i.e., America and Britain's long-awaited joint assault against Nazi-occupied Europe. A strong cast--James Remar as General Omar Bradley, Timothy Bottoms as Ike's assistant, Walter Bedell "Beetle" Smith--anchors the film's mesmerizing, blow-by-blow account of Eisenhower's leadership under the shadow of many uncertainties (predicting the weather for D-Day becomes a suspenseful refrain) and pressure from conflicting egos (Montgomery, DeGaulle, Patton). Ian Mune is a delight as a wary, darkly bemused Churchill, who encourages Ike's strategy of supreme leadership and low-key diplomacy. The script by Lionel Chetwynd (DC 9/11: Time of Crisis) captures the unbearable tension of commencing the invasion--and awaiting the results. --Tom Keogh

A must for history buffs.

ByMike-Firelandson May 27, 2017

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

Just stop and think of the decisions made leading up to such an important day. I'm not talking about a selifie or a frapachino from Starbucks but rather the decision of sending hundreds of thousands of lives to a possible early grave. I believe this movie showed at a General's level the weight bared on such important decisions. That the soldiers, airmen and sailors did not die in vain.

Good acting, but not much of an ending

Bycowboyon August 28, 2016

Was well done in terms of acting and feeling authentic, but didn't feel like it had much of an ending. Needs a part 2 that takes you through Ike's presidency.

Good Film

ByM Pickon March 19, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

My husband is the one that got this movie and he really enjoyed it. He likes to learn about history during the time of World War II. While I did not watch the entire movie, I did see parts of it and I have to say that Tom Selleck is pretty convincing at Dwight Eisenhower. In fact, I didn’t realize it was Tom Selleck initially and it is normally pretty easy to tell it’s him as he has a distinctive voice.

After my husband finished watching it, he said that it was a very good film. It really gets into the relationship between Eisenhower and Churchill. He would recommend.
