The first trailer for Guy Ritchie's World War II drama “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” was released on Tuesday.
Henry Cavill, 40, stars in the film as Gus March-Phillips. The film tells the true story of a group of villains who fought against the Nazis.
The plot is inspired by recently declassified British War Office documents that contained information about a secret group of military officials founded by the late Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Guy Ritchie, 55, directed the big-screen adaptation of Damien Lewis's 2015 book for Paramount Pictures, and deposed Superman star Henry plays the leader of the secret fighting organization.
The film is set during World War II and revolves around a secret fighting organization founded by Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming. Freddie Fox plays Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond novels, who was a member of the secret combat unit.

The plot is inspired by declassified British War Office documents that contained information about a secret group of military officials founded by Winston Churchill (left to right: Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Babs Olusanmokun and Alan Ritchson).
A summary states: “The top-secret combat unit, consisting of a motley crew of villains and loners, embarks on a daring mission against the Nazis, using completely unconventional and completely “unrefined” combat techniques.”
“Ultimately, their bold actions changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern black ops warfare.”
As the trailer begins, Henry's character Gus is heard saying, “We both know I'm not very popular with the government.”
“If I want to do this, I need my own team. 'You won't like them, they're all crazy.'
Cary Elwes' character tells him, “It must be them.”
As the unit is seen terrorizing their enemy, Gus is heard saying, “This is an unauthorized, unauthorized mission.”
“If we fail, England will have to sit under the boot of Germany for life.”
The film stars Eiza Gonzalez, Alex Pettyfer, Henry Golding and Babs Olusanmokun, among others.
