1917 Movie Plot
1917 movie tells the story of two young British soldiers at the height of the war, Lance Corporal Schofield and Lance Corporal Blake as they are given a seemingly impossible task. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory to deliver a message that could potentially save 1,600 of their fellow soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them.
Lance Corporals Schofield and Blake, of the 8th Battalion, have a comradeship and friendship, which in a short space of time is tested far beyond the point of what either could have imagined.
Armed with only their kits, maps, torches, flare pistols, grenades and a bit of food, they must cross No Man’s Land and find Blake’s older brother, a lieutenant in the 2nd Devons.
Their orders: head southeast until they reach the town of Écoust, then locate the waiting battalion at nearby Croisilles Wood. Hand the Commanding Officer a letter from General Erinmore and save hundreds of their fellow soldiers from potential death at the hands of the “retreating” Germans.
The unexpected, terrifying mission they are sent on changes the course of both of their lives.
