關於這部電影

Queensland miner, Oliver Woodward (Brendan Cowell), undertrained and never having faced hostile fire before, finds himself on the Western Front leading a secret team of Australian tunnellers fighting to defend a leaking, labyrinthine tunnel system packed with high explosives. If Woodward and his men can hold out, the massive mines will produce the biggest explosion the
world has ever known and could change the course of the war. But the Germans have discovered the Australians' underground activity and as zero hour approaches, the whole allied strategy could be in jeopardy... Based on an extraordinary true story, The Australian called Beneath Hill 60, "A LANDMARK ACHIEVEMENT. Magnificent, moving and brilliantly suspenseful." The West Australian named it, "ONE OF THE GREAT WAR MOVIES IN OUR CINEMA HISTORY." The Sydney Morning Herald declared it, "ONE OF THE FINEST FILMS EVER MADE IN THIS COUNTRY." Beneath Hill 60 is an unforgettable movie experience that is,
"TIPPED TO BECOME A CLASSIC to rank with Peter Weir's Gallipoli." The Sunday Telegraph.
