Dunkirk

Sky action 6.00pm 8.00pm ★★★★★

Satellite War epic ⊲ Defying convention and Hollywood heroics, Christopher Nolan’s immersive epic about the Dunkirk evacuation plunges us straight into the action as thousands of trapped Allied troops await rescue from the war-torn beaches of 1940 France. The film interweaves plot lines involving Mark Rylance, Fionn Whitehead, Kenneth Branagh et al, brilliantly conveying the panic, terror, endurance and resolve of those involved.
