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 is produced by Neal Street Productions for DreamWorks Pictures in association with New Republic Pictures. The film will be released by eOne in UK & Irish cinemas on January 10, 2020.
