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.
