More than eight decades after the Blitz, when Nazi Germany bombed Britain for nine months straight between 1940 and 1941, Oscar winner Steve McQueen’s film Blitz, in theaters Nov. 1 and on Apple TV+ on Nov. 22, aims to show viewers what it was like to live in the country during that tumultuous period. The film starts with a London factory worker and single mom Rita (Saoirse Ronan) making the difficult decision to send her son George (Elliott Heffernan) to the countryside so he can be safe from the bombing.
