1917 trailer

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.

The film also stars Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong and Andrew Scott.

1917 is directed by Oscar winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall, Spectre), from a screenplay by Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns.

1917 opens in cinemas on 9 January 2020.
