The Man Who Saved Christmas

Overview

Alfred Carlton Gilbert, the creator of the Erector Set, faces an unexpected challenge when he receives an urgent call to the White House. With World War I underway, officials pressure him to transform his toy factory into a weapons production facility, threatening his reputation if he declines. Reluctantly, A.C. complies. As the holidays approach, he’s further tasked with promoting a campaign to replace traditional gift-giving with war bond purchases. Struggling with the implications for his own son, who eagerly anticipates Christmas, A.C. must navigate the dilemma between duty and the joy of childhood.
