The film tells a story of three soldiers who are captured in no man’s land. They must pass through hard trials such as: machine gun fire, muddy wasteland, gas to escape and find the way which leads to safety trenches.
While Forbidden Ground can't match the scope of Peter Weir's Gallipoli and Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory in its tough-minded depiction of the First World War, the film successfully captures the personal tragedy and human sacrifice of the experience.
