A real WWII deception plan
The film is based on a true British intelligence operation during World War II, where officials used a dead body and fake documents to mislead Nazi Germany about Allied invasion plans.

A “fake spy” who was never alive
The entire mission centred around creating a fictional identity for a dead man, planting him in the ocean with misleading military documents to trick enemy forces.

Colin Firth leads the mission
Colin Firth plays Ewen Montagu, one of the intelligence officers behind the elaborate deception strategy.

A bizarre but effective strategy
The operation relied on convincing German intelligence that the Allies planned to invade Greece instead of Sicily, helping shift the course of the war.

Based on a bestselling book
