Beneath Hill 60

The Silent War…

Beneath Hill 60 is an Australian feature film set underneath the trenches of World War One. This never-before-told Australian story takes place during 1916 and 1917 IN Belgium, when Queensland miner Captain Oliver Woodward (played by Brendan Cowell) – undertrained and never having faced hostile fire before – finds himself on the Western Front the bloodiest battlefield in history.

Deep beneath the German lines, Woodward and his secret platoon of Australian tunnellers fight to defend a labyrinthine tunnel system packed with high explosives. It’s a silent and savage war where one tiny sound can turn a man from hunter to hunted

Critic Reviews:

• " You've got to give full marks for the look of the film. It looks absolutely great. " – David Stratton

• " This is our first really good movie about the Western Front. It's not faultless, but it does what it does very well. " – Paul Byrnes

• " Beneath Hill 60 for a while feels almost embarrassed to be a big war flick, but once it finds its nerve, it genuinely excels. " – Giles Hardie
