Elizabeth: The Golden Age is the tale of an era and the story of one woman's crusade to control love, crush enemies and secure her position as a beloved icon of the western world.
Elizabeth finds her rule openly challenged by King Phillip II of Spain, who is determined to restore England to Catholicism. Conspiring with Phillip is Elizabeth's cousin, Mary Queen of Scotts, who seeks the throne of England.
Preparing to go to war to defend her country, Elizabeth struggles to balance her royal duties with an unexpected vulnerability in her attraction to seafaring adventurer Walter Raleigh (Clive Owen). Unable and unwilling to pursue her love, Elizabeth encourages her favourite lady-in-waiting, Bess (Abbie Cornish) to befriend Raleigh to keep him near. However, this strategy forces Elizabeth to observe their growing intimacy.
As the Spanish Armada sails towards Britain to crush its rebellious Protestant Queen, Elizabeth's most trusted advisor Sir Francis Walsingham uncovers an assassination plot that could topple the throne. But as he unmasks traitors he unknowingly sets England on a course for destruction.
