The new film from multi award-winning director Steve McQueen (Hunger, 12 Years a Slave) is set in the East End during World War II.
In the face of nightly air raids, young mum Rita (Saoirse Ronan, Little Women, Lady Bird) makes the heart-wrenching decision to send her son George to the countryside. But a few hours into his journey, George alights the train, determined to return to his family.
Following George through London’s streets populated by friends and foes, McQueen’s Blitz represents one of the finest portrayals of life in a moment of crisis, perseverance and renewal.
