1917

Director Sam Mendes’ gripping World War I saga--told in one "continuous" take--focuses on Lance Corporals Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Schofield (George MacKay), British soldiers tasked with traversing miles of enemy territory in France in order to relay a warning of an impending German attack to a unit of fellow Brits. The mission is an especially personal one for Blake, as his brother is one of the 1,600 lives that hang in the balance. With Mark Strong, Andrew Scott, Colin Firth, and Benedict Cumberbatch. 119 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), French, Spanish; featurettes.
