One Life chronicles Nicholas Winton's quiet courage on the eve of World War II. A British stockbroker who becomes an unlikely hero, Winton masterminds the rescue of 669 children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, organizing trains, paperwork, and safe havens while his own life and relationships risk being overwhelmed by secrecy and fear. As details emerge, the film explores memory, sacrifice, and how one man’s deeds ripple across generations.
