Saoirse Ronan and newcomer Elliott Heffernan lead Steve McQueen’s upcoming World War II drama, Blitz. The film, set to premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on October 9, follows nine-year-old George played by Heffernan and his mother Rita played by Ronan during the London Blitz. As bombs fall, George is sent to the countryside for safety, while Rita frantically searches for her son. McQueen, known for 12 Years a Slave, directs from his own script, with Ronan making a significant return to the screen. Blitz hits theaters on November 1 and streams on Apple TV+ starting November 22.
