Rating:

A survival film, Nolan's 'Dunkirk' has the allied soldiers being cornered on the French beach by the marauding Germans in World War II. This ensemble work largely chronicles the evacuation of English soldiers who got trapped in the harbour and on the beaches in late May and early June of 1940, with the Germans closing in relentlessly from all sides. And their sense of helplessness is immediately pervasive.
