Featuring actors like Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh and One Direction star Harry Styles, the film centres on the British evacuation of Allied soldiers from the beaches and harbour of the French city of Dunkirk during World War II in 1940. The film is told through the eyes of three soldiers.

Talking about his experience of working with Nolan, actor Fionn Whitehead said: "I think the thing that makes Chris (Christopher Nolan) so unique is that he has his own vision for this piece of art. He is creating and he's completely in charge, which is an amazing thing for an actor.

"It gives you a bit more breathing room because you're not trying to tend to anyone else's needs."
