The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is based on a true story that takes place during the height of World War 2. Gus March-Phillipps, who is played by Henry Cavill of Superman and Netflix's The Witcher fame for nerds, is a disgraced soldier, brought in to do an impossible mission involving sabotaging the Nazis in the occupied city of Fernando Po. Gus then gathers together a team, and mishaps ensue.
