Gallipoli

Set during World War I, two ambitious Australian sprinters see their lives irrevocably changed as they trade their dreams of athletic glory for the harsh reality of the battlefield. Their journey leads them to the infamous Gallipoli campaign in the Ottoman Empire, where they confront the brutality of war. Director Peter Weir masterfully balances the idyll of youth with the harrowing, chaotic intensity of the trenches in this poignant war drama.
