SAS ROGUE HEROES: TRAILER AND FIRST LOOK IMAGES FROM UPCOMING BBC DRAMA
An action-packed 60-second new trailer and images have been released for SAS Rogue Heroes, the major new drama series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight.
Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Ben Macintyre, the six-part series stars Connor Swindells, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Allen, Sofia Boutella, and Dominic West, in a dramatised account of how the SAS was formed under extraordinary circumstances in the darkest days of World War Two.
Rich with action and set-pieces, SAS Rogue Heroes is the exhilarating story of renegade men taking monumental risks in extraordinary circumstances.
Cairo, 1941. David Stirling (Connor Swindells) - an eccentric young officer, hospitalised after a training exercise went wrong - is bored.
Convinced that traditional commando units don’t work, he creates a radical plan that flies in the face of all accepted rules of modern warfare.
He fights for permission to recruit the toughest, boldest and brightest soldiers for a small undercover unit that will create mayhem behind enemy lines. More rebels than soldiers, Stirling’s team are every bit as complicated, flawed and reckless as they are astonishingly brave and heroic.
SAS Rogue Heroes (6x60’) is created, written and executive produced by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, Taboo, A Christmas Carol) and directed by Tom Shankland (The Serpent, The Missing), with Stephen Smallwood (The Serpent, Patrick Melrose) as producer.
Made for the BBC by Kudos (a Banijay Company), SAS Rogue Heroes is coming soon to BBC One and iPlayer.
