Story Line
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.
