Operation Mincemeat recounts the audacious World War II deception in which British intelligence engineers a fictitious officer’s identity and forged documents to mislead the Nazis about the Allied invasion of Sicily. The elaborate ruse relies on meticulous planning, bold improvisation, and dangerous stakes, tested by doubt and bravado. With crisp period detail and restrained suspense, the film blends history and human drama to reveal how a single lie can influence a war.
