Official Synopsis
Based on recently declassified British War Office files, this highly stylized action-comedy chronicles Operation Postmaster, a covert World War II mission. Initiated by Prime Minister Winston Churchill and mastermind Ian Fleming, a rogue, ungentlemanly team of black-ops specialists is assembled to sail into Nazi-occupied waters. Tasked with neutralizing Germany's lethal submarine fleet via unauthorized guerrilla tactics, this mismatched crew relies on blood-soaked deception, heavy ammunition, and absolute lawlessness to alter the trajectory of the war.
