Steven Knight brings Peaky Blinders to the big screen with The Immortal Man, a brooding wartime chapter that trades smoky backrooms for bombed-out streets.

It is 1940, and Birmingham is under siege as World War II rages. Nearly two decades have passed since we first met Tommy Shelby, and the former gang leader now moves through a city scarred by the Blitz, balancing political influence, old rivalries and the weight of his own reputation. As tensions rise at home and abroad, familiar faces return, alliances shift and unfinished business refuses to stay buried.

Cillian Murphy slips back into Tommy’s overcoat with ease, playing him as a man hollowed out but unbowed, running on willpower and memory. The performance is flintier, quieter, all the more compelling for it. Stephen Graham continues his bid to break the Guinness World Record for appearing in every television drama made in a five-year period, while Sophie Rundle is also back as Tommy’s sister Ada Shelby. Knight stages it all with sweeping, bomb-shattered visuals and a score that pounds like distant artillery.

A fitting bridge from small to big-screen, it expands the legend without losing its grit.
