Operation Mincemeat | Official Trailer | Netflix

Two British intelligence officers hatch an outlandish scheme to trick the Nazis and alter the course of World War II. Based on a true story of deception.

I read this book years ago, and when I talked about this plan to others, folks thought i was crazy. That the person who invented 007 was one of the greatest heroes of WW2, with this operation. Love that its being made into a movie.

Seeing the two most perfect renditions of Darcy working in a film together, is on the same hype level for me as the entire Marvel fanbase freaking out over all the three Peter Parker's together.
The internet better lose it's mind over Firth and McFadyen finally sharing screen time together. This is the very embodiment of "period drama icons" crossover.

I've actually heard of this Operation Mincemeat. Despite being highly unconventional, it was one of the most important missions that helped the Allies win WWII. And, yes, the Fleming involved was the Ian Fleming, the man behind Bond.

2 generations of Mr.Darcys in one frame is making me feel things! 🥺❤️

*It's one of the most macabre stories ever. The depression and suicide of one man lead to a plan that saved thousands of lives. During World War II, Ian Fleming had mentioned to friends that he wanted to write a spy novel, but it was not until 17 Feb 1952 that he began to write his first novel, Casino Royale. One of the nuttiest schemes concocted during WWII that actually worked. I'm so excited for this. Operation Mincemeat was a fantastic story. Thank God that Netflix back with compelling drama. Love the casting!!*

“What are you writing Flemming?”
“A spy story.”
Bit of an understatement but fair enough.

[JaredKaiser]

Colin Firth is just killing it with these period drama and so as Jason Isaacs

[moviekid]

I read a whole book about this operation, and it is a wild, fantastic tale that legitimately did end up helping turn the tide for the Allied Forces. So glad they're giving it a full fledged film treatment, and so far it seems to have nailed the tone--that balance between the comedy underlining the absurdity of the situation, and the dread of those involved knowing how dire it would be should they fail.

Seeing that the madlads who starred as Zhukov and Beriya are in this movie, this is a must watch

[retrocules]

Matthew Macfadyen's voice omg I just melt! Never knew I needed to see him on the big screen again. Incredible cast!

[joelspringman]

It's an incredible true story. A good example of what Sun Tzu said:
"All warfare is based on deception."

[adriennepender]

The original move was called "The Man Who Never Was, " from 1956 -- it starred Clifton Webb, Gloria Grahame, Stephen Boyd -- I love it, it's serious, gripping, has great suspense. I'm slightly wary of the new version but I love the story so much, so I'll give it a go.

[victabulousfurtado]

I love Colin Firth. He is such a superb actor. Definitely a must see.

[gabrieltorres]

The original is real good, The Man Who Never Was.
One of my favorite movies.

[markadams]

What I always found interesting about operation mincemeat was that the man whose dead body they used probably died thinking he was a nobody and perhaps a loser, yet the significance he would have on history probably could have never been fathomed by him before his death.

[NotCondorTheBird]

Glad to see Zhukov and Beria helping out the British!


This looks great though.

[annanazanagram]

This film is a near masterpiece and very underrated. The storytelling and execution is makes this a fantastical adventure and misadventure at the same time. "The truth is protected by lies" protected by lies as well as imprisoned by lies dually. It can neither go out for a leisurely stroll nor receive visitors.

[russelleames]

Netflix turning out some good films lately: Munich, the edge of war; The forgotten Battle; My best friend, Anne Franke, etc etc.
Keep em coming!

[jdmaine]

This HAS to be the same guy who made The Death of Stalin. Same actors, same style... I cannot wait to see this.

[khalilahd.]

I love the wit and style in this already! Definitely on my watch list 🙏🏽
