Narrated by Tom Hardy, the Oscar-nominated star of Dunkirk, Band of Brothers and Black Hawk Down, this cinematic, premium documentary series will celebrate the most spectacular true-life missions accomplished by the UK’s world-renowned Special Forces.
With one explosive mission at the heart of each episode we will interlace filmic first-person testimony (from those who served, the politicians who gave orders, the journalists who reported on the ground, and historians who will contextualise the jeopardy) with high-adrenaline, stylised recon and carefully chosen archive.
Special Forces: Most Daring Missions will put the viewer on the frontline of the action, using a chronological timeline to whip us through the operations, from the heart-stopping first phone call from Westminster to the triumphant return to home soil.
The action develops like a dramatic thriller, as we ride alongside the troops into another life or death situation with our storytelling revealing layer upon layer of danger, threat and battle, exactly as it unfolded at the time.
