Details

In 1943 the Allies were determined to break Hitler’s grip on occupied Europe and plan an all-out assault on Sicily, but they faced an impossible challenge – how to protect a massive invasion force from potential massacre. It fell to two remarkable intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen), to dream up the most inspired and improbable disinformation strategy of the war - centred on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man. A true story, Operation Mincemeat is a worthy update to the 1956 film “The Man Who Never Was”(which was made before all the facts of the story had come to light).
