Peaky Blinders: The Mortal Man 🎥 2026 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Amidst The Birmingham Blitz in November 1940, Nazi Germany initiates a plot to economically subdue the United Kingdom by introducing copious amounts of counterfeit British currency – manufactured by the inmates of the regime’s concentration camps — into the British economy with the assistance of pro-Nazi agents, with the goal of triggering hyperinflation. Concurrently, a Luftwaffe night raid in Birmingham destroys a BSA munitions factory, killing the factory’s female workforce. Elsewhere, Tommy Shelby lives in isolation, having retreated from public life after the death of his elder brother Arthur, who supposedly died by suicide in December 1938.

His only company is his loyal assistant Johnny Dogs. Tommy is working on his autobiography but is haunted by visions of his deceased daughter, Ruby. Ada Shelby, who has succeeded Tommy as the MP for Birmingham South, visits him to inform him of the acts committed by the Peaky Blinders, now led by his son Duke Shelby. Concurrently, the gang raids the destroyed factory and steals its munitions. In private, Duke has joined forces with Nazi agent John Beckett, who intends to have the Peaky Blinders distribute £70 million of counterfeit currency inside Britain through the gang’s networks. Meanwhile, Tommy is approached by Kaulo Chiriklo, the twin sister of Zelda Chiriklo – with whom Tommy had conceived Duke in 1914.

Calling Tommy the Rom Baro, or the Gypsy King, Kaulo claims to have spoken to Arthur from beyond the grave, and goads Tommy into divulging that he had accidentally killed Arthur, who had acted erratically under the influence of opium. She nevertheless interprets Tommy’s act as a kindness, and convinces him to return to Birmingham to save Duke, whom she deduces is in trouble. Elsewhere, Beckett discovers that Ada had collected testimony of Duke’s raid at the factory and that she intends to submit it to the military police, which could derail the plot.
