Sam Mendes, the Oscar®-winning director of Skyfall, Spectre and American Beauty, brings his singular vision to his World War I epic, 1917.
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.
Sam Mendes has ambitiously, with the help of veteran cinematographer Roger Deakins (BLADE RUNNER 2049), crafted an on-screen experience that pulls audiences into a visceral battlefield to tell this story of brotherhood, sacrifice and liberty.
