'Touch my family and I'll kill you': Jamie Dornan stares down his neighbour in tense scene as The Troubles sweep Northern Ireland in second trailer for Kenneth Branagh's Belfast
The second trailer for Kenneth Branagh's Belfast - billed as 'chronicling the life of a working class family and their young son's childhood during The Troubles in Belfast, Northern Ireland in the late 1960s' - has been released.
Captured mostly in black-and-white and lasting just over two minutes and twenty seconds, the trailer follows lead actors Caitriona Balfe, Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan and Ciaran Hinds enjoying domestic life on their Belfast street.
That is until a car bomb explosion heightens tensions in the community and pushes Dorman's character Pa to consider moving his family abroad after telling his neighbour in a tense interaction: 'Touch my family and I'll kill you.'

Prior to the explosion, the following text appeared in gold letters on screen: 'Belfast, 1969. Everything was about innocence. Everything was about family. Everything was about to change.'
Dench's character Granny narrates the trailer's opening, saying: 'It's not how the story ends, but rather, the place where it begins.'

He's also heard telling Jude Hill, who plays his son Buddy: 'There is no our side or their side on our street.'

Belfast is 60-year-old acclaimed director Kenneth's semi-autobiographical story of growing up in Northern Ireland in the late 60s.
The film is not a straightforward biography of Kenneth's childhood, and sees Hill take on the lead role under the name of Buddy.
Dornan, 39, plays Buddy's father in the new film, with Outlander star Balfe, 42, taking on the role of mother.
Hollywood heavyweight Dench, 86, portrays his grandmother, with Hinds, 68, starring as Kenneth's grandfather.
Belfast will be released in the United States on November 21 and in the UK on February 25.
Belfast's official logline reads: 'Belfast is a personal and joyful story about the power of memory, set in late 1960s Northern Ireland.
'At the center of the film is Buddy, a young boy on the cusp of adolescence, whose life is filled with familial love, childhood hijinks, and a blossoming romance.'
It adds: 'Yet, with his beloved hometown caught up in increasing turmoil, his family faces a momentous choice: hope the conflict will pass or leave everything they know behind for a new life.'
