1585年，此时伊丽莎白一世（凯特•布兰切特 Cate Blanchett 饰）已经52岁。她单身未嫁，政治手腕已经非常成熟，处理国务也比年轻时得心应手。她思想开明，允许人们信仰罗马天主教。然而，却屡屡受到苏格兰女王玛丽•斯图亚特的种种对抗，玛丽甚至派杀手暗杀伊丽莎白未遂。 　　另一方面，女王还面临着西班牙这个宿敌。西班牙和英国之间的宗教差异，加之海盗活动猖獗的现况，使得二国矛盾日渐尖锐，为日后的战争埋下伏笔。 　　罗利带着海外新鲜的探险经历在女王面前出现，令女王多年尘封的心有了悸动。然而，女王的爱情，注定了要屈服于国家的利益。 　　在英国与西班牙的战争中，女王展现出的强大魄力，把大不列颠推向霸主的辉煌巅峰。Two faiths, two empires, two rulers - colliding in 1588. Papist Spain wants to bring down the heretic Elizabeth. Philip is building an armada but needs a rationale to attack. With covert intrigue, Spain sets a trap for the Queen and her principal secretary, Walsingham, using as a pawn Elizabeth's cousin Mary Stuart, who's under house arrest in the North. The trap springs, and the armada sets sail, to rendezvous with French ground forces and to attack. During these months, the Virgin Queen falls in love with Walter Raleigh, keeping him close to court and away from the sea and America. Is treachery or heroism at his heart? Does loneliness await her passionate majesty?
