Winston Churchill was one of the titanic statesmen of the 20th century, as well as a talented and erudite writer of history and memoirs. The historical epic opens with Churchill's years as a junior officer in India and free-lance war correspondent and follows him through his escape from a Boer War prison camp and his election to Parliament at age 26.

The Long Ships is a rollicking, action-packed Viking adventure saga starring Richard Widmark (Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee, Kiss of Death, 1947) and Sidney Poitier (Oscar-winning Best Actor,Lilies of the Field, 1963). Viking brothers Rolfe (Widmark) and Orm (Russ Tamblyn, West Side Story)steal the Norse king's funeral ship as well as his beautiful daughter, Gerda (Beba Loncar), and head off in search of the fabled "Mother of Voices," a huge solid-gold bell "as tall as three tall men." The brothers battle a maelstrom, a mutinous crew and vengeful Moorish troops led by Prince El Mansuh (Poitier). Highlighted by rousing battle scenes, daring escapes and humorous interludes, Time magazine stated The Long Ships has "more enjoyable bloody foolishness than many an epic costing three times as much."

But not entirely: Walken has been moved by the dissident leader he met while imprisoned, and has a nasty surprise for his American businessman sponsor.
