De film volgt de politieke clash tussen Abraham Lincoln, de zestiende president van de Verenigde Staten, en de machtige mannen van zijn kabinet in de strijd tegen de afschaffing van de slavernij en het einde van de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. De focus ligt hierbij voornamelijk op de laatste maanden van Lincolns leven, waaronder ingezoomd wordt op de permanente afschaffing van de slavernij, die het gevolg was van een zeer nipte stemming in het Huis van Vertegenwoordigers over het 13e Amendement.

Storyline
In 1865, as the American Civil War winds inexorably toward conclusion, U.S. president Abraham Lincoln endeavors to achieve passage of the landmark constitutional amendment which will forever ban slavery from the United States. However, his task is a race against time, for peace may come at any time, and if it comes before the amendment is passed, the returning southern states will stop it before it can become law. Lincoln must, by almost any means possible, obtain enough votes from a recalcitrant Congress before peace arrives and it is too late. Yet the president is torn, as an early peace would save thousands of lives. As the nation confronts its conscience over the freedom of its entire population, Lincoln faces his own crisis of conscience -- end slavery or end the war.
A revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President's tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will change the fate of generations to come.
