About Operation Mincemeat
In 1943, as World War II rages on, British intelligence officers Ewen Montagu and Charles Cholmondeley devise an audacious plan to deceive Nazi Germany. They stage the death of a fictitious British officer, Major William Martin, planting false documents suggesting an Allied invasion of Greece. The body is released off the coast of Spain, hoping it will be discovered by the Germans. As the operation unfolds, personal tensions arise among the team, and the stakes grow higher. Based on a true story, this film blends espionage, drama, and historical intrigue.
