After debuting in cinemas at the start of the month, Oscar-winner Sir Steve McQueen’s new British World War II movie is now headed to streaming today.
The critically acclaimed new film Blitz stars Saoirse Ronan and fans wonder if she will finally win an Oscar for her role after four previous Academy Awards nominations.
The official synopsis reads: “Sir Steve McQueen’s Blitz follows the epic journey of George (Elliott Heffernan), a 9-year-old boy in London whose mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) sends him to safety in the English countryside.
“George, defiant and determined to return home to his mom and his grandfather Gerald (Paul Weller) in East London, embarks on an adventure, only to find himself in immense peril, while a distraught Rita searches for her missing son.”
Written and directed by McQueen, the new film co-stars Harris Dickinson, Stephen Graham and Alex Jennings.

Following Variety’s Oscars 2025 predictions, Blitz is expected to receive a Best Picture nod and Best Supporting Actress nomination for Ronan.
However, apparently Ariana Grande is the current favourite for her starring role as Galinda in Wicked, which hits cinemas today.
Blitz is now streaming on Apple TV+ from today.
