Kaleidoscope Entertainment presents Landship, a World War One survival epic rooted in the brutal reality of the Western Front, will arrive in UK cinemas on 26 June. From the producers of Lancaster Skies and Battle Over Britain, the film brings a remarkable true story from 1917’s Battle of Passchendaele to the screen with gritty historical detail and visceral action.
To mark the release, the filmmakers will also host a special Q&A screening at Kinema In The Woods in Woodhall Spa on 1 July, offering audiences the chance to go deeper into the story, the research, and the filmmaking craft behind this intense new war drama. Tickets are available to book now.

Three years into the Great War, the Western Front has become a four-hundred-mile scar of trenches, mud, and attrition. As Allied forces prepare a pivotal offensive designed to break the stalemate, Landship follows the nine-man crew of a British MKIV Tank tasked with a near-impossible mission: destroy a series of heavily defended German bunkers.

Advancing across no-man’s-land under punishing enemy fire, the crew’s assault turns catastrophic when their tank becomes trapped in a massive shell crater — stranded just yards from enemy lines. With escape cut off and the odds collapsing by the minute, survival becomes the only objective.
.
What unfolds is a claustrophobic fight against the elements and the mind as much as the enemy: starvation, shellshock, relentless gunfire, and the suffocating dread of being left to perish in the fetid mud and poison smog of Passchendaele. Refusing to surrender to the inevitable, the soldiers rally together — not for glory, but for the raw, human will to live. Landship opens in UK cinemas 26 June.
