This looks like a contender for the film of 2017 already…
Plot it’s all about: The title refers to the port of Dunkirk, the scene of a mass evacuation of 330,000 allied troops surrounded by the German army during World War II.
Dunkirk opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by the enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in.
The film follows the soldiers as they try to escape the German bombing raids and return to the safety of Britain.
There’s also no sign of the dodgy extra ruining this trailer either…
