Landship

From the producers of Lancaster Skies and Battle Over Britain comes a World War One survival epic, based on an incredible true story of the Battle of Passchendaele, 1917. For three years the great war has been waging, and the two armies find themselves entrenched along the four-hundred-mile Western Front. At the start of a pivotal allied offensive to break the stalemate, the nine-man crew of British Battle Tank F41 ‘Fray Bentos’ sets out to destroy a series of heavily defended German bunkers. Advancing across no-man’s-land, all seems lost when the tank becomes trapped in a giant crater within only a few yards of enemy lines. However, determined not to perish amongst the fetid mud and poison smog of the battlefield, the soldiers must rally together to fight for survival against starvation, shellshock, and relentless gunfire.
