The True story of a team of Second World War commandos led by James Bond author Ian Fleming is brought to life in Age of Heroes.
Metrodome is releasing the film in UK cinemas on May 20 and then on DVD and Blu-ray on June 13.
This action-thriller reveals the fearless exploits of the 30 Commando, one of the most important elite units in the history of the British Armed Forces.
