A platoon of inexperienced British soldiers huddles in the cold and muddy trenches in France awaiting the onset of the disastrous 1916 Battle of the Somme. As their vigil drags on, the tension becomes unbearable and the men begin to doubt their commanding officers are telling them the truth. Drama, starring Daniel Craig, Paul Nicholls, Julian Rhind-Tutt and Danny Dyer.

The Trench tells the story of a group of young British soldiers on the eve of the Battle of the Somme in the summer of 1916, the worst defeat in British military history. Against this ill-fated backdrop, the movie depicts the soldiers' experience as a mixture of boredom, fear, panic, and restlessness, confined to a trench on the front lines.
