The first trailer for the summer 2017 movie was released on
Wednesday, featuring Styles, 22, as a soldier fighting for his
life. The British cast also includes Tom Hardy ("The Revenant"),
Mark Rylance ("Bridge of Spies") and Kenneth Branagh ("Wallander").
Christopher Nolan directs the movie, which recreates Operation
Dynamo, in which some 338,000 soldiers were rescued between May
27 and June 3, 1940, by warships and a flotilla of pleasure
boats and other small craft.
Described as a "miracle of deliverance" at the time by British
Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the 1940 evacuation was
considered one of several key events that determined the outcome
of World War Two.
"Dunkirk" is due to open in movie theaters on July 21, 2017.
