Hot off the heels of his wildly successful Netflix series The Gentlemen, filmmaker Guy Ritchie’s latest project is effectively his version of a James Bond film.

An adaptation of Damien Lewis’s 2014 nonfiction book about Operation Postmaster, the film features Ian Fleming, a British intelligence officer in 1942, conspiring with Prime Minister Winston Churchill to derail Germany’s U-boat supplies. As the story goes, this mission, and its designated leader, Gus March-Phillips, formed the basis for what would later become the James Bond literary franchise.

The Germans have cleverly established their supply chain in neutral territory, making it impossible for the United Kingdom to attack without expanding the Axis’s allies. This early scene, in which Churchill debriefs March-Phillips on the unsanctioned U-boat mission, is a testament to Ritchie’s filmmaking prowess. It tells you everything you need to know about the character without wasting time divulging any extraneous backstory.
