“Without us, those tunnels are going to fail.” Well Go USA has debuted an official trailer for another war movie called The War Below, this one set during WWI aka The Great War. Marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker J.P. Watts, who also did the VFX for this, it originally premiered in 2021 and is only now getting an official VOD release. During World War I in Europe, after the tragic disaster at the Somme, the Allies turn to an audacious plan to disturb the front line. A group of civilian tunnelers known as the “Clay Kickers” (this really did exist) is recruited to dig beneath No Man’s Land and plant a massive bomb under German trenches.

Starring Sam Hazeldine, Tom Goodman-Hill, Kris Hitchen, Andrew Scarborough, Anna Maguire, Joseph Steyne,
