The plot takes inspiration from the formation of a clandestine unit by order of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, which included Ian Fleming (author of the James Bond series of novels). The purpose of this team was to employ unconventional and ungentlemanly combat techniques against the Nazis, an approach that would significantly influence the outcome of the war and give rise to modern Black Ops units. This historical context serves as the backdrop to tell the story of action and strategy under the lens of Guy Ritchie.

The project was initiated by Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, who sold it as a pitch to Bruckheimer and Paramount in 2015. With a script based on the book by Damien Lewis, the film has navigated a long road before its release. Also, Black Bear handled financing, with Lionsgate in charge of theatrical distribution internationally.
