The
Monuments Men Official Synopsis:
Based
on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men focuses 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.
