The World War One survival epic Landship is now available for audiences to experience on DVD, Blu-ray, and all major digital platforms. Distributed by Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment, the film comes from the production team behind previous historical hits such as Lancaster Skies and Battle Over Britain.
Set against the backdrop of the 1917 Battle of Passchendaele, the film follows the nine-man crew of a British MKIV tank. During a pivotal offensive, the crew is tasked with destroying a series of heavily defended German bunkers. The mission takes a desperate turn when their tank becomes trapped in a giant shell crater just yards from enemy lines, forcing the soldiers to battle starvation, shellshock, and relentless gunfire to survive.
The release of Landship marks another entry in the growing catalog of historical dramas from director Callum Burn. For fans of gritty, grounded war cinema, the film offers a focused look at the psychological and physical toll of trench warfare. The production aims to bring historical detail to the forefront, emphasizing the claustrophobic tension faced by tank crews during the conflict.
Home Media Features and Cast
The physical release of the film includes several bonus features for those interested in the production process. Both the DVD and Blu-ray editions contain a feature-length audio commentary track featuring director Callum Burn, producer Andrew Burn, and actors Vin Hawke and David Dobson. Additionally, the discs include a 26-minute Q&A session with the cast and crew that explores the challenges of filming the intense battlefield sequences.
The cast is led by Vin Hawke, who is joined by David Dobson, Matthew Canny, and Jack Sherlock. The film maintains a runtime of 89 minutes and carries a 15 certificate. Digital viewers can find the title on platforms including iTunes, Amazon, YouTube, Sky, and Rakuten.
Why It Matters
Historical war films often focus on large-scale maneuvers, but Landship distinguishes itself by narrowing the scope to a single, trapped crew. This approach allows the narrative to lean into the psychological strain of the Great War, moving beyond standard action tropes to examine the endurance of the human spirit under extreme pressure. For viewers who appreciated the historical dedication found in the producers’ earlier works, this latest project provides a similarly immersive look at the realities of 1917 combat.
