Fortitude is an upcoming historical spy action-adventure film directed by Simon West and written by Simon Afram. It stars Nicolas Cage, Matthew Goode, Ed Skrein, Alice Eve, Michael Sheen, and Ben Kingsley.
The true story of British Intelligence operatives using unprecedented strategic operations that fool Nazi leadership, ultimately changing the course of World War II. The film follows the brilliance of British Army officers Dudley Clarke and Thomas Argyll “Tar” Robertson, who deployed an elaborate web of deception campaigns, including fictitious armies, fake military equipment, and a network of double agents to mislead Nazi Intelligence. Among them was Yugoslavian playboy Dusko Popov, a real-life double agent. [1]
