Operation Mincemeat
Deception. The greatest weapon in war.
Directed by John Madden
Produced by See-Saw Films, Cohen Media Group
A clever, historically grounded wartime thriller centered on an audacious intelligence deception that hinges on wit and ingenuity rather than violence.
In 1943, two British intelligence officers concoct Operation Mincemeat, wherein their plan to drop a corpse with false papers off the coast of Spain would fool Nazi spies into believing the Allied forces were planning to attack by way of Greece rather than Sicily.
