The official poster for Guy Ritchie’s World War II drama, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, starring Henry Cavill and Alan Ritchson released and they brought out the big guns.
Based on true events from World War II and as seen in the trailer, it follows a clandestine special-ops group formed by then-Prime Minister Winston Churchill which also included James Bond creator and author Ian Fleming, who is said to have based much of his 007 adventures on his own experiences throughout the war. The groups success ultimately laid out the blueprint for British SAS special forces and the techniques black ops teams have used for decades.
The film is based on the 2014 non-fiction novel The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill’s Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops written by Damien Lewis, the top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly ‘ungentlemanly’ fighting techniques. Ultimately their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare stars Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Babs Olusamokun, Henrique Zaga, Til Schweiger, with Henry Golding, and Cary Elwes.
