Elizabeth(1998)

England's Queen Elizabeth I (Cate Blanchett) took the throne of a Roman Catholic country as a young woman, declared the nation Protestant and ruled for 45 years -- but at great personal cost. Director Shekhar Kapur's Oscar-winning treatise on absolute power and its human toll sees the virgin queen sacrifice happiness with Lord Robert Dudley (Joseph Fiennes) and place her trust in Sir Francis Walsingham (Geoffrey Rush) amid assassination threats.
