Blitz — Official Trailer | Apple TV+

A boy’s journey. A mother’s love. Miles of burning city between them.

Sir Steve McQueen’s “Blitz” follows the epic journey of George (Elliott Heffernan), a 9-year-old boy in World War II London whose mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) sends him to safety in the English countryside. George, defiant and determined to return home to his mom and his grandfather Gerald (Paul Weller) in East London, embarks on an adventure, only to find himself in immense peril, while a distraught Rita searches for her missing son.

Written and directed by Academy and BAFTA Award-winning McQueen, the film stars Academy and BAFTA Award nominee Ronan and newcomer Heffernan, with Harris Dickinson, Benjamin Clementine, Kathy Burke, Paul Weller, Stephen Graham, Leigh Gill, Mica Ricketts, CJ Beckford, Alex Jennings, Joshua McGuire, Hayley Squires, Erin Kellyman and Sally Messham rounding out the cast. McQueen’s Lammas Park produces alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films, Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan and Michael Schaefer for New Regency, with producers Anita Overland and Adam Somner.

McQueen reunites with production designer Adam Stockhausen (“12 Years a Slave,” “Widows”), costume designer Jacqueline Durran (“Small Axe”), and composer Hans Zimmer (“12 Years a Slave”), with cinematographer Yorick Le Saux (“Little Women”) and makeup designer Naomi Donne ( “Spectre,” “Skyfall”).

We are now entering "Saoirse is a mother in a movie" era.

[DonnaAbrams-qhzt]

Hard to believe one could make a boring movie about the blitz of Britain and the relocation of children during WW2. But they have managed it.

[echolot]

Saoirse now playing mother roles. I didn't need to feel this old today.

[KyalJames]

Spoiler alert: in the end she pays the toll.

[cappygolucky]

It’s an insult to those victims of the blitz

[GameStonk-dr]

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been re-written, every picture has been re-painted, every statue and street and building has been re-named, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

[ConSchuyler]

The demographics of London in WW2 were quite different than whats being represented here

[benjaminngopwaamos]

Soairse Ronan playing mom roles in movies is something I wasn't expecting to see any time soon.

[constancewalsh]

The potential for a film to absorb my attention and interest is immediately killed by the hyper-dramatic soundtrack.
They are all the same, movie-noise trying to tell me how to feel as though the story were not enough.
The KCRW (Elvis Mitchell) interview with Steve McQueen was stellar, it's what brought me to this trailer.

I could not be more turned off but maybe younger generations will appreciate.

[thomaswykes]

Rewriting history.
Orwell would be proud

[pauliewalnuts]

Arnon Milchan was one of the people behind creating this film.

And before you ask yes he is

[jogon]

Steve McQueen is next working on the story of the 1916 Easter Uprising.
Riz Ahmed as George Bernard Shaw, Daniel Kaluuya as Sean O"Casey and Stormzy in his first acting role as James Connolly.

[jtaylor]

I'm going to make a film about a remote African tribe, and cast loads of red haired, freckled actors. I don't think anyone will have a problem, do you?

[HarryFlashmanVC]

The scene with the flooded tube station is inspired by the Balham tragedy when a Getman bomb shattered the water main at Balham tube station and the resulting flood drowned nearly 80 trapped people who were taking shelter. It was the single biggest disaster on the tube at the time and was hidden from the public till after the war as they feared people would stop using the the network as a shelter.

[TheMaverickq]

First few seconds a black boy in UK when WW2 started. First 30 seconds a black soldier in UK in WW2. What is this? A disney movie?!

[Jabber-igiw]

They just can’t help themselves can they🙄🙄

[RavenswoodProductions]

I rarely walk out of a movie before it ends. I did with this film. Eventually I could not take the negativism, the in-your-face anti-racism rants and celebration of bad decisions anymore. This is really *not* a movie about WW II. It is an anti-racism rant, a commercial for hard socialism and celebration of people who make bad personal choices, again and again and again.

[DavidSmith-bhrk]

I’m surprised they didn’t get Lenny Henry to play the part of Winston bleeding Churchill.

[dallascowboyshighlights]

Apple TV going rogue here with historical accuracy. 😂😂😂

[letushear]

Loved this movie. The singing was just adorable.
