On a desperate mission to save people from a disastrous fate, British soldiers Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Schofield (George MacKay) must cross enemy territory to deliver a life-saving message in the dramatic adventure 1917. They are racing against the clock. If they succeed, disaster can be averted. If they fail, hundreds of their fellow soldiers will surely perish in a military battle they cannot win.
