What is ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ About?

Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organization formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials including author Ian Fleming. The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques. Ultimately their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Guy Ritchie, Chad Oman, Ivan Atkinson, and John Friedberg, ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ is a collaboration between Black Bear Pictures, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, and Toff Guy Films. See the set images.

Release Date:

Lionsgate (United States) and Black Bear UK (United Kingdom) will release ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ in theaters on April 19, 2024.
