Deathwatch

Deathwatch

Set in 1915 on the Western Front, one million or more Allied and German troops face each other across the scarred, cratered planes of northern Europe, thick with mud and blood.

Private Charles Shakespeare and the last few men of Y Company are utterly lost, deep in enemy territory, awaiting a rescue that will never come. One by one, the young men begin to die or turn on one another, and in this cursed, lonely place, Private Shakespeare must overcome a terror greater even than his own deepest fear. Starring Jamie Bell.
