Pictures, in partnership with Microsoft, Intel and Dell, has created Save Every Breath: The Dunkirk VR Experience (VRE), which goes live today, July 7th, and is available on multiple virtual reality platforms, at dunkirkmovie.com\/vr.\u00a0 The pulse-pounding 360-degree short film immerses the viewer in the world of Christopher Nolan\u2019s epic action thriller \u201cDunkirk.\u201d\u00a0 Through three tightly woven sequences, the VRE offers a tantalizing taste of the much-anticipated film, in which 400,000 Allied soldiers are trapped on the beach of Dunkirk, France, with their backs to the sea as the enemy closes in.\u00a0 \u201cDunkirk\u201d opens in conventional theatres and IMAX\u00ae beginning July 21, 2017.<\/p>\n
