The film, which is based on an original screenplay by Nolan, depicts the British military evacuation from the town of Dunkirk in 1940 which was one of World War II’s biggest rescue operations.

The synopsis of the film reads: “Dunkirk opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in.”

Dunkirk is set for release on July 21.
