Director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) brings a story his grandfather told him as a child to the giant screen with this gritty World War I epic, featuring an all-star cast including Colin Firth and Benedict Cumberbatch.

At the height of the First World War during Spring 1917 in northern France, two young British soldiers are given a seemingly impossible mission: deliver a message which will warn of an ambush during one of the skirmishes soon after the German retreat to the Hindenburg Line during Operation Alberich.

The two recruits race against time, crossing enemy territory to deliver the warning and keep a British battalion of 1,600 men, which includes Blake's own brother, from walking into a deadly trap. The pair must give their all to accomplish their mission by surviving the war to end all wars.
