While the movie is largely faithful to history, it takes a few cinematic liberties to keep the drama high:
Set in 1943, the Allies are preparing to invade Sicily—the "soft underbelly of Europe". The problem? Hitler knows it’s coming. To save thousands of lives, British intelligence officers (played by Colin Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen) devise a plan inspired by a 1939 memo.

On Rotten Tomatoes , the film maintains a solid score, with many calling it a "well-rounded, satisfying" wartime drama. While the movie is largely faithful to history,
