1917 is a 2019 war film directed by Sam Mendes, starring George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman as two British soldiers ordered to cross enemy territory during World War I to deliver a message that could save 1,600 men from a deadly ambush. Presented as an apparent single continuous shot, the film was shot by cinematographer Roger Deakins and features supporting performances from Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong, Andrew Scott, and Richard Madden.
Partly inspired by stories Mendes heard from his grandfather about his service on the Western Front, the film won Golden Globes for Best Picture and Best Director, along with seven BAFTA Awards including Best Film. Runtime is 119 minutes.
