Weekend at Dunkirk
Only once before, in The Longest Day, has a motion picture achieved such greatness !
A wartime drama centered on soldiers facing an impossible choice during the Dunkirk evacuation, balancing tactical desperation with moral conviction.
In June 1940, during the Dunkirk evacuation of Allied troops to England, French sergeant Julien Maillat and his men debate whether to evacuate to Britain or stay and fight the German troops that are closing-in from all directions.
