Kaleidoscope Entertainment is excited to announce that World War One survival epic, Landship, will arrive in UK cinemas on 26th June. The latest film from the producers of smash hits Lancaster Skies and Battle Over Britain, it brings to life a true story from 1917’s Battle of Passchendaele with incredible action and historical detail. The filmmakers will also be holding a special Q&A screening at Woodhall Spa’s Kinema In The Woods on 1st July, with tickets available to book now.
For three years the Great War has been waging, and two armies find themselves entrenched along the four-hundred-mile Western Front. At the start of a pivotal allied offensive to break the stalemate, the nine-man crew of a British MKIV Tank set out to destroy a series of heavily defended German bunkers.
Advancing across no-man’s-land under intense enemy fire, all seems lost when the tank becomes trapped in a giant shell crater, within only a few yards of enemy lines. However, determined not to perish amongst the fetid mud and poison smog of the battlefield, the soldiers refuse to resign themselves to their fate. Instead, the men rally together to fight for survival against starvation, shellshock, and relentless gunfire.
Landship stars Vin Hawke (The Terror, Battle Over Britain), David Dobson (Lancaster Skies, Spitfire Over Berlin), Matthew Canny (Coronation Street) and Jack Sherlock (Hedda, Vigil).
Landship will be in UK Cinemas from 26th June, with special Q&A screening 1st July at Kinema In The Woods
