Blitz will reportedly recall the lives and stories of Londoners during the Blitz of World War II. The Blitz was a German bombing campaign against the United Kingdom in 1940 and 1941. More than 40,000 civilians were killed by the utterly horrific series of bombings.
Saoirse Ronan has received various accolades, including a Golden Globe Award, in addition to nominations for four Academy Awards and five British Academy Film Awards.
