Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor
A high-stakes, time-spanning adventure that balances epic sci-fi spectacle with character-driven emotional stakes and the Doctor's reckoning with his own past.
In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London's National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor's own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.
