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

1917 is a combination of All's Quiet..., The Odyssey, The Rings Trilogy and Heart of Darkness. Every second of it and every piece of it is perfect. Every performance is stunning. Easily the best war movie ever made...and almost certainly in the top 5 of all movies ever made.

crazy good. superb acting and everything. appreciate the super long takes that go uncut for tens of minutes! Great script great story telling

A master piece! Uncut camera framing lighting effects of war and finally the river flows blow your mind...
