'War game' is a modern classic about a group of lads who sign up to fight in World War I and find themselves on the front line. Then, on Christmas Day in 1914, something remarkable happens as the Germans and British armies stop fighting and meet in no-man's land to play football. But the war isn't over, the two sides resume fighting, and the group of lads are ordered to charge across no-man's land...
