Written and directed by Academy and BAFTA Award-winning Sir Steve McQueen, the film stars Academy and BAFTA Award-nominee Saoirse Ronan and newcomer Elliott 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. The city is brilliantly captured through Adam Stockhausen’s meticulous production design, while Hans Zimmer’s score seamlessly balances grandeur with the film’s intimate moments. Through George’s eyes, McQueen’s Blitz delivers one of the most powerful depictions of resilience, crisis, and the enduring spirit of survival.
