1917 has drawn comparisons to Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, and for good reason: Both are artfully rendered war films in which our protagonists are menaced by mostly unseen enemy forces—but above all, they are fighting the clock. “In 1917, at the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (George MacKay, Captain Fantastic) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman, Game of Thrones) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them,” 1917’s synopsis explains. Mendes’ grandfather was a WWI veteran, and his experiences inspired the story of the film, which Mendes scripted alongside Krysty Wilson-Cairns.

1917 underperformed expectations at the 92nd Academy Awards in February, which is to say it won three Oscars, taking home statuettes in the Cinematography, Sound Mixing and Visual Effects categories. Those wins are pretty representative of 1917’s most pronounced strengths: Lensed by the immortal Roger Deakins and presented as one continuous shot, the film is a visual marvel, and the artistry that went into making that so is explored on 1917’s home release, which features “bonus content showcasing the incredible craft and artistry behind the immersive feature, including a detailed look into the production design, how the film engineered a one shot, 360-degree format and interviews with the cast and crew,” per a press release.
