Apple TV+ goes for Oscar gold with Blitz, a WWII movie dropping this November

Saoirse Ronan is a determined mother searching for her son in the first trailer for Blitz, Apple’s World War II drama from Oscar winner Steve McQueen.

The movie is set during WWII, with Nazi Germany frequently bombing London’s citizens. Rita (Foe’s Ronan) sends her 9-year-old son, George (Elliott Heffernan), to the English countryside to avoid the bombings in the city. However, George never reaches his destination. As George embarks on a dangerous journey home, Rita frantically races to find her son.

“This is for all the parents whose children have been evacuated,” Rita says while searching for George.

Blitz’s ensemble cast includes Harris Dickinson, Benjamin Clementine, Kathy Burke, Weller, Stephen Graham, Paul Weller, Leigh Gill, Mica Ricketts, CJ Beckford, Alex Jennings, Joshua McGuire, Hayley Squires, Erin Kellyman, and Sally Messham.
