Dunkirk

In the late spring of 1940, in the wake of the Battle of France, German forces had pushed nearly 400,000 Allied troops back to the Channel. The harrowing week that followed--as hundreds of British civilians, as well as military vessels, made their way to Dunkirk’s shores in the prayer of extracting the trapped soldiers, while the RAF ran interference--is remarkably chronicled in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning combat opus. Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh, Fionn Whitehead, Aneurin Barnard, Harry Styles star. 106 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
