As Hitler's regime takes over Europe, Miller grows increasingly frustrated that her work is constrained by patriarchal rules, leaving her documenting the British home front," a synopsis for the film reads.
The film details Miller's grueling career path and the backstory behind a pinnacle moment in war photography.
"Determined to be where the action is she defiantly pushes against the establishment and with the blessing of her friend and editor Audrey Withers (Andrea Riseborough), Miller overcomes enormous obstacles and gets herself to the frontline of World War II," the synopsis continues.
The film depicts Miller's friendship with Life magazine photographer David E. Scherman, played by Andy Samberg, with whom she finds herself in Hitler's Munich apartment, "where together they choreographed the famed photo of Miller in Hitler's bathtub on the same day that Hitler took his own life."
Miller worked as a famed fashion model in New York City before heading to the front lines, where she took famous photos of World War II, including the aforementioned snapshot in Hitler's bathtub.
