About this movie

Sam Mendes, the Oscar®-winning director of Skyfall, Spectre and American Beauty, brings his singular vision to this World War I epic. At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic's George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones' Dean-Charles Chapman), are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers-Blake's own brother among them.

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic film, grips you from the beginning and doesn't let go. George MacKay holds your attention with his haunted performance of a man willing to give everything to get the job done. Must see movie of the year for me.

Beautifully crafted movie, a true masterpiece. The use of long-shot scenes changes the movie industry forever..

This movie could not be better. Astonishing story, beautiful photography, singular acting and worth every single cent.
