The War I Knew (2014)

In the heart of D-Day's chaos, a British paratroop squad descends into the treacherous expanse of Northern France. They find themselves far off-target, deep behind enemy lines, and face a brutal wipe-out. The sole survivor is Private Johnny Barrows, a greenhorn soldier thrust into a lethal game of survival. Scared, lost, and inexperienced, he is a lamb amongst wolves. Days pass in a tense cat-and-mouse game with German platoons, until fate leads him to a motley crew of three dysfunctional soldiers. There's Murphy, a ruthlessly controlling sociopath who has self-appointed himself as their leader. Filey, his devoted follower, has been left childlike and hyperactive from a head wound. Lastly, there's Rock, a shell-shocked, muscular American of mere 22 years, living in a trance-like state, functioning only when given direct orders. The powder keg of growing tension between Johnny and Murphy ignites when they capture an SS Sturmbannführer, a seasoned and manipulative officer. The officer craftily stokes the discord, biding his time for the perfect moment to escape. Johnny, lost in this deadly backdrop, must navigate the treacherous terrain of conflict, both within and outside his group. He's compelled to mature rapidly, to transform from prey to leader, if he hopes to outlast the war and find safe passage. This is a tale of courage, survival, and the brutal costs of war, where every decision could mean the difference between life and death.

The War I Knew is an action movie featuring Sophie Skelton and directed by Ian Vernon.
