In the movie The War Below, set during World War I, a group of skilled British miners are recruited by the military for a top-secret mission. With the war at a deadly stalemate on the Western Front, the British command realizes that a direct assault on the heavily fortified German front lines is futile. As a strategy to break the trench warfare impasse, they devise a plan to tunnel beneath "no man's land" and plant mines under the German front lines at Messines Ridge.
The group of miners, led by experienced tunneler Sergeant Bill Drayton, is assembled from various coal mining regions across Britain. They are chosen for their expertise in tunneling and explosives. Though initially reluctant to leave their families and enter the horrors of war above ground, the miners ultimately agree to take on this dangerous mission, intrigued by the possibility of contributing to a breakthrough in the war.
As the miners arrive at the front lines, they face a grueling and treacherous journey underground, battling not only the physical challenges of tunnelling but also the constant threat of gas leaks, cave-ins, and German countermining. Throughout their arduous work, tensions arise within the team as differing personalities clash and the stress of the situation takes its toll on their morale.
Simultaneously, the film explores the personal lives of the miners back home, revealing the realities of the coal mining industry and the impact it has on their families. Their loved ones face the struggles of managing without the primary breadwinners, highlighting the hardships faced by those left behind during the war.
As the miners continue their perilous task beneath the surface, they encounter unexpected obstacles, including unexploded bombs left by previous tunnelers and German patrols venturing into their tunnels. Amidst these challenges, the team's determination remains strong, fueled by the hope of creating a significant breakthrough and ending the deadly stalemate.
Finally, the climactic moment arrives when the miners successfully plant a series of explosives beneath the German front lines. The resulting detonation is an awe-inspiring spectacle, as the earth shakes and the enemy lines are torn apart. The Battle of Messines is forever changed as the strategic advantage shifts to the British forces.
As the movie concludes, with the Battle of Messines won and the stalemate broken, the miners return home as heroes, forever changed by their experiences in the war. The film ultimately serves as a tribute to the resilience and bravery of these ordinary men who played a vital role in changing the course of history.
