'Operation Mincemeat' (Cert 12A)

Screen @ The Avenue  presents 'Operation Mincemeat' (Cetificate 12A) the story of the Allied Forces determined to break Hitler’s grip on occupied Europe. They plan to launch an all-out assault on Sicily; but they face an impossible challenge - how to protect the invasion force from potential annihilation. It falls to two remarkable intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen) to dream the most inspired and improbable disinformation strategy of the war - centred on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man. Operation Mincemeat is an extraordinary but true story of an idea that hoped to turn the tide for the Allies.
