Based on RC Sheriff’s 1928 play of the same name, Journey’s End has been made into a film five times to date.
The latest adaptation arrived in cinemas in 2017 as part of the British commemoration of the First World War centenary and has a 91 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The critical consensus says: “Journey’s End brings R.C. Sherriff’s 90-year-old play to the screen with thrilling power, thanks to director Saul Dibb’s hard-hitting urgency and brilliant work from a talented cast.”
An official synopsis reads: “Led by young officer Stanhope, whose mental health is rapidly disintegrating, a group of British soldiers await their fate in an Aisne dugout during the end of World War I.
Considered one of the best World War I films, Saul Dibb’s movie stars Asa Butterfield, Sam Claflin, Paul Bettany, Tom Sturridge, Toby Jones, Stephen Graham, Robert Glenister, Andy Gathergood, Miles Jupp, Jack Holden and Erik Bar.
Journey’s End is streaming for free on Plex, a free streaming platform with ads.
