The trailer for director Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk" dropped Friday, revealing a movie in the spirit of "Saving Private Ryan" and the HBO series "Band of Brothers." "Dunkirk" tells the tale of a key moment in World War II, when hundreds of thousands of British and Allied soldiers were surrounded by German forces on the beaches of Dunkirk, France, and had to be evacuated while under heavy German fire. The drama plays out in epic fashion on land, sea and air. "For British people, Dunkirk is pretty much in our DNA," Nolan told The Times in March. A lot of people today don’t know the story, and I think it’s one of the greatest stories in human history."
