The War Below
Hope runs deep.
Directed by J.P. Watts
Produced by Vital Pictures
A tense, historically grounded war drama about working-class miners thrust into an underground campaign, balancing camaraderie against the claustrophobic horror of trench warfare.
During World War I, a group of British miners are recruited to tunnel underneath no man's land and set bombs from below the German front in hopes of breaking the deadly stalemate of the Battle of Messines.
