One hour to live. One order to die. The most pointless charge in history.
Just moments before the end of hostilities, a foolhardy order ricochets through the front- line trench. Sergeant Archie Jones and his pals find themselves going over the top one last time. All they had to do was wait just one more hour. As eleven o'clock approaches Archie, badly wounded, slips between two worlds. One filled with the familiar sounds and smells of death, the other of warm sunshine, a soft embrace and the innocent smile of a child. When all seems lost help is offered from an unexpected hand.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film was shot on location in actual WWI trench reconstructions in France, using period-accurate equipment that weighed 60+ pounds per actor.
The '11,000 dead in the final hours' statistic the film references became widely known after American historian Joseph Persico's 2004 book, fueling renewed anger at military incompetence.
