Christopher Nolan directs Fionn Whitehead, Harry Styles, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy and many others in a film about the evacuation of 300,000 members of the British Army from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940.
The soldiers were encircled by the German Army, while the Luftwaffe strafed he beaches and the destroyers attempting the seemingly hopeless task of transporting the men to England. Many small boats from the southern ports of England sailed across the Channel to help with the rescue, principally by ferrying men from the exposed beaches and piers to deeper waters where larger boats could accept them; but many also took men all the way back to England.
