On April 19, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare drops in theaters, chronicling an inspired-by-true-events and high-action World War II crusade with Henry Cavill at the helm.

The film, based on recently declassified files from Britain’s War Department, stars Henry Cavill as Gus March-Phillipps, who led a rollicking team recruited by the British military in the 1940s to unleash their decidedly devil-may-care approaches to war on the Nazis. They’re touted as the predecessor to today’s special ops programs.
Joining Cavill in the rambunctious crew are Reacher‘s Alan Ritchson, After‘s Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Magic Mike‘s Alex Pettyfer, and Snake Eyes‘ Henry Golding, as well as 3 Body Problem‘s Eiza González and Dune: Part Two‘s Babs Olusanmokun.

Director Guy Ritchie, who is also having a big moment with Netflix’s The Gentlemen, is behind the film. As is Top Gun producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who certainly knows his way around cinematic explosives. So expect action, intensity, and probably more action.
