The real life story about the single most successful piece of orchestrated espionage in modern day history, certainly the greatest secret mission of the Second World War.

Information from ‘Deadline’ :-

EXCLUSIVE: Simon West’s (Con Air) World War II espionage action-adventure Fortitude began principal photography on September 8 in London and has assembled an eye-catching cast. The ensemble comprises Matthew Goode (The Imitation Game), Ed Skrein (Jurassic World: Rebirth), Jordi Mollà (Mobland), Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness), Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon), Art Malik (True Lies), Lukas Haas (Inception), Adrian Topol (Franz + Polina), Emilio Sakraya (Sixty Minutes), Paul Anderson (Peaky Blinders), Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) and Nicolas Cage (Con Air).

The movie is based on the true story of British Intelligence operatives using unprecedented strategic operations to fool Nazi leadership and help change the course of World War II. With historical consultation from Joshua Levine (Dunkirk), the film follows the brilliance of British Army officers Dudley Clarke and Thomas Argyll “Tar” Robertson, who deployed an elaborate web of deception campaigns including fictitious armies, fake military equipment and a network of double agents to mislead Nazi Intelligence. Among them was Yugoslavian playboy Dusko Popov, a real-life double agent who is said to have inspired Ian Fleming’s James Bond character.

This new role for Matthew Goode reunites him with Alice Eve (Ordeal by Innocence) and Ben Kingsley (Self/Less)
