The subject matter for Christopher Nolan's forthcoming war epic is no laughing matter. It tells the dramatic real-life story of the Dunkirk evacuations during World War II, and more specifically Operation Dynamo, a 1940 mission that freed over 300,000 Allied troops trapped on all sides by the Nazis.

Many will be reassured that a story that still echoes with the relatives and loved ones of those involved is in safe hands with Nolan.
