Based on Ben Macintyre’s bestselling book, it sets its scene in 1943, with the Allies determined to break Hitler’s grip on Europe and launch an all-out assault on occupied Sicily. Knowing they must misdirect the Nazis from their true intentions, two brilliant naval intelligence offers, Ewen Montagu (Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Macfadyen) conceive of a truly inspired, if potentially farcical plan to lead their foe astray.

Delivered by a fantastic ensemble cast including Johnny Flynn, Penelope Wilton, Jason Isaacs, the late Paul Ritter, and Simon Russell Beale, with a script by Michelle Ashford fusing moments of drama, romance and pure intrigue, Operation Mincemeat promises to be a richly satisfying take on an incredible true story of WWII espionage.
