Tom Hardy’s Batman Co-Star Anchors This WWII Biopic That Netflix Is Removing

Mere months after the Tom Hardy-led Dunkirk was released in theaters, a companion piece set in the same era offered a new perspective on events shown in Christopher Nolan's film. Dunkirk was an instant hit, going on to become the highest-grossing World War II movie of all time by overtaking Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. It has since been overtaken by Nolan's own Oppenheimer, which finally won him the Best Director Oscar. In fact, it was with Dunkirk that Nolan earned his first Best Director nod. The movie told the story of the evacuation of Allied troops from the French town of Dunkirk, where they were trapped like fish in a barrel. The same event was told through the perspective of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in the companion piece, which competed in several of the same categories at the Oscars.
