Journey's End is a 2017 British war film based on the 1928 play "Journey's End" by R. C. Sherriff. Written by Simon Reade and directed by Saul Dibb, it was screened in the "Special Presentations" section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. The story follows a young James (Jimmy) Raleigh who signs up for the war under the command of his old school chum, Stanhope. The conditions in the trenches have forced Stanhope to resort to the bottle, but Raleigh is hardly phased by any of it. Intel says that the Germans are bound to attack the line in Northern France any day.
