Based on real events, which were covered in military historian Damien Lewis' bestselling 2014 book Churchill's Secret Warriors, the movie charts the origins of Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming's secret WWII combat organisation.
"The clandestine squad's unconventional and 'ungentlemanly' fighting techniques against the Nazis helped change the course of the war and gave birth to the modern Black Ops unit," a synopsis teases.
Paul Tamasy, Eric Johnson, Arash Amel and Ritchie wrote the script.

Golding was most recently seen opposite Dakota Johnson in Netflix's adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion.
A Crazy Rich Asians sequel is in development, in addition to a spin-off centring on Gemma Chan and Harry Shum Jr's characters.
"A lot of people are really excited, especially with the wonderful work that the team behind CRA has been doing," Shum Jr recently told CinemaBlend. "I think at this point they’re writing it and trying to just get it right.
"So as far as I know now, I don’t know any concrete date of when it would go, but I’m just as excited as the audience to get this going."
