The first trailer of Dunkirk from director Christopher Nolan releases

One of the most anticipated releases of 2017, Warner Bros. rolled out the first trailer of Dunkirk from director Christopher Nolan. Nolan is hailed as one of the most acclaimed directors currently working and as typical with all his movies, the focus of Dunkirk seems to be the psychological affects that war creates.

Dunkirk has an esteemed line-up of cast including Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy and Kenneth Branagh. It also features Harry Styles, former One Direction singer, making his big-screen acting debut.

The allied soldiers are surrounded, on the French coastline, by German forces and it looks like a major part of the movie will focus on how the soldiers deal with the threat mentally. The trailer shows many shots depicting soldiers fighting both, internal and external struggles.

With the tagline “At the point of crisis, at the point of annihilation, survival is victory,” the film is slated to release on July 21, 2017.
