Schofield and Blake, two young British soldiers during the First World War, are given a seemingly impossible mission. With time against them, they must deliver a message, deep in enemy territory, that will stop their own men, and Blake’s own brother, walking straight into a deadly trap.
The film won 2 Golden Globes, for Best Movie, Drama, and Best Director.
Described by The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw as “an amazingly audacious film”, it has won multiple awards and nominations. Filmed “in one extraordinary single take by cinematographer Roger Deakins, a continuous fluid travelling shot” brings the full horror of the soldiers’ situation to life.
