Movies: Tom Hardy Displays True Grit As Heroic Pilot In “Dunkirk”




Nominated for an Oscar for his performance in the epic frontier drama The Revenant, Tom Hardy re-teams with frequent collaborator Christopher Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises) in the action thriller Dunkirk (now showing in Philippine cinemas).

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.

The story unfolds on land, sea and air. RAF Spitfires engage the enemy in the skies above the Channel, trying to protect the defenseless men below. Meanwhile, hundreds of small boats manned by both military and civilians are mounting a desperate rescue effort, risking their lives in a race against time to save even a fraction of their army.

Movies: Kenneth Branagh Must Evacuate Trapped Soldiers In “Dunkirk”


Oscar-nominee Kenneth Branagh (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) plays Bolton, the naval commander in charge of The Mole, a perilous eight-foot-wide pier that becomes the British soldiers' narrow gateway to freedom, in Christopher Nolan's new epic action thriller Dunkirk (in Philippine cinemas July 20).

“Bolton is the man responsible for organizing the logistics of boats and ships coming to the mole, where boats can moor, collect their soldier passengers and then move off,” Branagh says. “And there is a necessity for that to happen swiftly, with maximum efficiency, because they’re being fired at. It just simply wasn’t possible to get everyone off because the numbers were so huge. It’s an appalling situation to be placed in.”

Movies: “Dunkirk” - Propulsive, Ticking-Clock Action-Thriller From Christopher Nolan


Christopher Nolan has taken audiences from the streets of Gotham City, to the infinite world of dreams, to the farthest reaches of space. Now, for the first time, the innovative director/writer/producer has turned his camera to a real-life event, one that has resonated with him throughout his life: the miracle of Dunkirk.

Warner Bros. Pictures' Dunkirk is based on the evacuation that—although it took place in the early months of World War II—had a direct impact on the outcome of the war. Rather than make a battlefield drama, however, Nolan’s objective was to turn this historical moment into immediate, immersive cinema: a propulsive, ticking-clock, epic action thriller in which the stakes couldn’t be higher.

He affirms, “What happened at Dunkirk is one of the greatest stories in human history, the ultimate life-or-death race against time. It was an extraordinarily suspenseful situation; that’s the reality. Our aim with this movie was to throw the audience into that with an absolute respect for history, but also with a degree of intensity and, of course, a sense of entertainment, too.”
