Dunkirk is the dramatic and true story of the Dunkirk evacuation from a war torn beach and harbor in France, following the seemingly doomed plight of Allied soldiers in World War II. In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.
