Dunkirk Trailer Breakdown: 21 Things You Need To See

5. Explosions Galore

Dunkirk Explosion
Warner Bros.

There are going to be a ton of explosions in this movie (to the surprise of almost no-one). In several separate sequences, ships can be seen belching fire as soldiers attempt to escape, and in one distinct scene, Mark Rylance's son is trying to retrieve soldiers from the water all while an intense fire rages in the background.

Considering how Hollywood still hasn't gotten CGI fire quite right yet, again it's reassuring to know that Nolan did it practically for the most part.
