The first look at Steve McQueen’s Blitz is here and includes a new trailer and poster. The acclaimed director of 12 Years a Slave, Widows, and the Small Axe series has a new movie releasing this year on Apple TV+. The movie stars Saoirse Ronan and Elliott Heffernan. This is Steve McQueen‘s first fictional film project since the Small Axe series he created for Amazon and released during the COVID pandemic.

Blitz follows the epic journey of George (Elliott Heffernan), a 9-year-old boy in World War II London whose mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) sends him to safety in the English countryside. George, defiant and determined to return home to his mom and his grandfather Gerald (Paul Weller) in East London, embarks on an adventure, only to find himself in immense peril, while a distraught Rita searches for her missing son.

This is one of my most anticipated movies left in 2024. 12 Years a Slave and Widows are both among my favorite movies of the 2010s, and the Small Axe series was a towering achievement as a series of features with varying scales and lengths all coming together to paint a very vivid portrait of history.
