This leads us to sea, where we follow Mr Dawson and his young crew on a desperate mission. Due to shallow beaches, the big warships can’t get close to the beach to evacuate the soldiers and the only entry/exit point is the Mole. Commander Bolton (Kenneth Branagh), in charge of evacuation, takes extreme measures to protect the Mole, including sacrificing sinking ships and men. The Mole is a long concrete jetty, which the army used to evacuate the bulk of its troops. He is helped along by Gibson (Aneurin Barnard), who is trapped in a similar situation. Fionn Whitehead plays Tommy, the last surviving member of his band of soldiers, that tries all ways and means to get off Dunkirk, which involves utilizing wounded soldiers and hiding below the Mole to try and sneak aboard departing ships.

Each segment takes place across a different timeframe, which sounds confusing at first, but we are helped along by visual cues that allows us to track the linear plot. He crafted the film in three segments, land, air and sea. Christopher Nolan delivers again in Dunkirk there’s character development, a thrilling plot and emotional connection in a film based on history that everybody already knows the ending to.
