One Life – Official Trailer: Anthony Hopkins Shines in True WWII Rescue Drama for NZ Audiences

New Zealand viewers, prepare for a powerful emotional journey — the official trailer for One Life has arrived, telling the remarkable true story of Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton, who helped rescue 669 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia in the lead-up to World War II. Starring the legendary Anthony Hopkins and Johnny Flynn as Winton in his later and younger years, this moving biographical film speaks to the kind of quiet heroism that resonates deeply with Kiwi values.

Directed by James Hawes, One Life isn’t just a historical drama — it’s a deeply human story about courage, conscience, and the impact of doing good without fanfare. With standout performances from Helena Bonham Carter, Romola Garai, and Jonathan Pryce, this film is already stirring early buzz for its emotional depth and historical relevance.

For audiences across Aotearoa — from classrooms discussing moral leadership to families remembering New Zealand’s legacy of wartime compassion — this film feels especially timely. Winton’s actions mirror the spirit of community and integrity that many Kiwis still value today.

Set for release in New Zealand cinemas later this year, One Life is a must-watch for anyone drawn to stories of real-world heroes, historical resilience, and the quiet strength that changes lives.
