Dunkirk

At the beginning of "Dunkirk," hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are trapped by the enemy. On the beaches of Dunkirk, they have retreated to the sea and find themselves in a hopeless situation.

We experience the story on land, at sea, and in the air: Spitfires from the Royal Air Force attack the enemy in the skies over the English Channel to protect the defenseless men on the beach. At the same time, hundreds of soldiers and civilians set out in small boats on a desperate rescue mission, risking their lives in this race against time to save at least a part of the British Army.
