Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organization formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials including author Ian Fleming.
The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques. Ultimately their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.

Reviews
- "Guy Ritchie is no stranger to the tactful art of blending incredible history with his bombastic brand of action, but THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE ratchets it up to a whole new level."
- Collider - "A slightly apocryphal historical remix, Ministry is Ritchie’s best film in a long time. It can’t claim to reinvent the wheel, as the director is still pretty comfortable in sticking with what works."
- Inverse - "THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE has its moments, harkening back to the winsome rogues and madcap mayhem of Ritchie's early gems, like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch."
- Mashable - "It's proof positive that a great movie can be fun, flashy and ridiculous, with an uncomplicated plot and still work."
- Arizona Republic - "The movie relies on a terrific ensemble in nearly all its lead roles, apart from Churchill."
