Synopsis
Stuck in the trenches of Saint-Quentin, France, a battalion of British Army officers languishes, having been at war far too long. Based on the popular stage play by R.C. Sherriff, the film centers not on the gory daily atrocities of battle, but rather on the grueling lulls that plague soldiers with fear and uncertainty. While the distant cry of battle does sometimes rattle their bunker walls, what most afflicts the Captain (Maxwell Caulfield) and his men is the waiting.
