## Prompt

```text
A gritty cinematic World War II movie poster in a vertical one-sheet layout, designed like a modern prestige war film advertisement. At the top, two centered tagline lines in condensed uppercase text read {top_tagline} and {second_tagline}. The main composition features 4 American WWII soldiers in the foreground wearing dark olive uniforms and large netted M1 helmets: 1 dominant central soldier shown from the chest up, facing forward, flanked by 3 slightly smaller soldiers receding behind him, one on the left and 2 on the right. Their faces are shadowed, dirty, battle-worn, and dramatic, with intense low-key lighting and smoky backlight. Behind them, a stormy war-torn sky filled with heavy smoke columns, sparks, embers, and 2 aircraft groups: 1 group of 3 planes on the upper left and 1 group of 5 planes on the upper right. In the middle, a small centered line of text says {based_on_text}. Below it, an enormous distressed title in bold block letters reads {movie_title}, with a star used as the separator between the two D letters. Under the title, a red condensed date line reads {date_text}. The lower half shows the D-Day beach landing from the viewpoint inside an open landing craft, with 2 dark metal ramp walls framing the left and right edges. In the surf, exactly 8 soldiers are wading toward shore with rifles and packs, surrounded by Czech hedgehog beach obstacles, rough water, smoke, distant fires, and an embattled coastline under bombardment. At the very bottom is a dense strip of tiny production credits, and beneath that a bold red release line reading {release_text}, followed by a smaller white line, "HONOR THEIR SACRIFICE.". Color palette is charcoal gray, steel blue, muddy brown, and fire orange with red accent typography. Ultra-detailed, photoreal, high contrast, moody, epic, historical, dramatic theatrical poster design, realistic film grain, volumetric smoke, distressed textures, symmetrical composition, premium blockbuster key art.
