Six Minutes to Midnight

In the picturesque coastal town of Bexhill-on-Sea, a sinister plan begins to take shape. At the Augusta-Victoria College, an elite school for daughters of the Nazi elite, a veil of secrecy shrouds an operation critical to the British government.

Wheatley, an undercover operative disguised as an English teacher, faces the collapse of his cover. In a moments' haste, he attempts to escape with no word to his superior, Colonel Smith, putting himself in perilous danger.

In the midst of Wheatley’s crisis, Captain Thomas Miller is sent to replace him due to his unique skills. Miller's arrival marks a turning point, as he brings with him the hope of investigating Wheatley’s fate.

Captain Miller's investigation takes a gruesome turn as he finds Wheatley's lifeless body washed ashore, discovered by the unsuspecting schoolgirls. This shocking event heightens the urgency of Miller's mission as he digs deeper into the investigation.

Ilse Keller, a former student and now a PT instructor at the college, hides her dangerous secrets. She eliminates Colonel Smith and frames Miller, placing him in grave danger and pushing him further into a corner.

Following the framing incident, Miller is forced into hiding to evade capture. He dons a stolen uniform in an attempt to blend in at a parade, illustrating the desperate lengths he must go to for safety.

Miller's efforts to evade capture fail, leading to his imprisonment where he encounters Captain Drey and Corporal Willis. Despite their claims of being allies, Miller quickly realizes that he must tread carefully among them.

In a shocking twist, Miller learns that Drey is a Nazi sympathizer. This betrayal shatters his trust and places him in a dire situation, leaving him to plot a desperate escape.

Just when Miller's despair is overwhelming, Charlie, a local bus driver, becomes his unexpected ally. By unshackling Miller, he offers him a chance to regroup and plan his next move against his pursuers.

In a heart-pounding sequence, Miller successfully communicates a critical message, the code phrase 'Six Minutes to Midnight.' This plea for help is pivotal as it exposes Drey's treachery and sets off a series of explosive confrontations.

Upon returning to the college, Miller finds a chilling silence where vibrant life once flourished. Confronted by Headmistress Miss Rocholl, he learns of Ilse Keller's orchestrated plans to smuggle the girls away.

The climax builds as the Luftwaffe aircraft prepares to take the students to safety. Miller, Rocholl, and rebel student Gretel face off against Keller to determine the fate of the young women who have become pawns in this deadly game.

As tensions peak, Miller, Rocholl, and Gretel plead with Keller to spare Gretel's life. Their heartfelt intervention sways Keller, showcasing the power of compassion amidst chaos.

In the aftermath of the confrontation, Miller reassures Rocholl that he will protect the girls amidst the uncertainty of war. Their departure is bittersweet as the girls sing a nostalgic tune, a symbol of hope in dire times.

As Miller leaves, the radio announces the alarming news of Britain's declaration of war against Germany. This pivotal moment marks the beginning of a dark and transformative chapter for all involved.
