Paramount released a sinister one-minute teaser trailer for upcoming action drama Allied starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard on Friday.

The stars play undercover allies in World War II who fall in love as they plan a high-profile assassination.

Brad, 42, is British intelligence officer Max sent behind enemy lines to Casablanca in Morocco in 1942 on the deadly mission while Marion, 40, co-stars as French Resistance fighter Marianne who poses as his wife.

He gets the girl: Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard star as undercover secret agents sent to kill a high-ranking Nazi in 1942 in a one-minute teaser for Allied, released on Friday

Falling in love complicates their mission to kill the high-ranking Nazi official.

Reunited in London as a truly married couple, their relationship and their child are threatened by the extreme pressures of war.

The teaser ramps up their love affair as well as showing the dangers the two assassins face, ending with Max in a tank-style military vehicle blasting away.

It cuts back to London with a voice saying, ominously: 'I told you they'd come for you.'

Max replies: 'Is this a game?' to which the voice replies, 'a test.'

Last week producer Graham King talked about the two stars, telling People: 'Their chemistry was electric.

'It was crucial for Brad and Marion to not only begin rehearsing together before the shoot, but they also spent a lot of time developing their characters with the director, Robert Zemeckis.'

'By the time we got to set, it was really amazing to see these characters already feel lived in and real.'

Allied, which also stars Lizzy Caplan and Downton Abbey's Matthew Goode. is set to hit theaters on November 23.
