The-Monuments-Men-UK-Quad-Poster

Twentieth Century Fox have just released the UK trailer for their new movie Monuments Men which lands on our cinema screens February 14th. The movie tells the story of a group of people who are tasked with saving valuable pieces of artwork during the Second World War. It’s Directed by George Clooney and has an absolutely stonking cast which includes George Clooney, Bob Balaban, Jean Dujardin, Hugh Bonneville, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman, and Matt Damon.

Check out the new trailer embedded below and let us know if you’re excited to see more.

Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men focuses on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys – seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 – possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind’s greatest achievements.
