Watch Blitz: Synopsis
British director Steve McQueen's (12 Years a Slave) World War II epic has made a rapid transfer from big screen to small, with Blitz heading to the Apple TV Plus streaming service from Friday, November 22. Below you'll find all the details you need on how to watch Blitz online.
Saoirse Ronan (Atonement) leads a cast comprising the great and good of British acting as Rita. Living in London as the German bombs cause carnage all around her, she decides that it's best for her nine-year-old son George (debutant Elliott Heffernan) to be evacuated to the calm and safety of the English countryside.
George sees things rather differently, however, and doesn't even make it as far as his new rural home before he makes a dash London-wards towards his mum, friends and grandfather Gerald (played by music legend Paul Weller). That leaves Rita in a state of panic, as she moves heaven and Earth to try and find her errant boy.
With McQueen behind the lens, you know you're guaranteed a love letter to war-obliterated London that is as character driven as it is enduringly stylish. "What was so interesting to me about this, the idea of this landscape, was that it was about a working-class family," he told the BBC at the film's premiere in the UK capital. "This was a family drama, as well as a historical epic."
Also starring the likes of Harris Dickinson (Triangle of Sadness), Stephen Graham (This is England), Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) and Kathy Burke (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), the New Yorker called Blitz "a bracing, even novel, perspective on a war whose film depictions so often traffic in sententious Greatest Generation platitude".
This is classical filmmaking from one of cinema's finest working auteurs. So read on to discover how to watch Blitz online, with Apple TV Plus the exclusive streaming home the world over.

How to watch Blitz online from anywhere
If you're on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Blitz just as you would at home.
While services like Apple TV Plus may not be available globally, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, US citizens overseas can subscribe to a VPN, join a US-based server and access their subscription from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
How To Use A VPN To Unblock Streaming Services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from just $3.59 a month with its 2-year plan
2. Connect to a server – US Apple TV+ users, for example, will want to connect to a server located in the US
3. Stream away! – login to Apple TV+ and stream Blitz like you were in your home country
