From Academy Award-winning director Steve McQueen’s "Blitz" is a breathtaking and emotionally charged historical drama that plunges viewers into the chaos of World War II London during the German blitzkrieg.
Starring Saoirse Ronan as Rita, a working-class single mother, and newcomer Elliott Heffernan as her adventurous 9-year-old son, George, the film captures their desperate struggle to reunite after becoming separated in a city under siege. As George ventures into dangerous territory and Rita frantically searches for him, McQueen’s vivid storytelling and stunning recreation of 1940s London take center stage.
Supported by a stellar cast including Harris Dickinson, Kathy Burke, and Stephen Graham, Blitz balances heart-pounding peril with tender human moments. With McQueen’s artistic vision, this film offers a rare, multicultural look at wartime London, highlighting the resilience of ordinary people against extraordinary odds.
