This is the true story behind "1917", the new war movie from Academy Award winning director Sam Mendes. Just because a film is fictional doesn’t mean that there isn’t a fascinating story behind it. “1917” is a World War I epic that centers on two British soldiers, Lance Corporals Blake and Schofield. The two are informed by a superior officer that a British battalion is walking into a fatal trap. The Germans have retreated to the Hindenburg Line in the midst of Operation Alberich, waiting to ambush the enemy. If the attack isn’t called off, the British army will lose 1,600 brothers in arms, one of which is Blake’s actual brother. Join WatchMojo as we break down the true story behind "1917".
