Few movies in 2019 were as well received as Sam Mendes' 1917, which won an Oscar for Best Cinematography and would have scooped a whole lot more gongs at the Academy Awards were it not for Bong Joon-ho's magnus opus, Parasite. Not seen the instant WW1 classic yet? Read on and our guide explains how to watch 1917 online from anywhere in the world.

Without spoiling things for film fans, we can briefly outline the premise of 1917. At the height of World War I, British soldiers Lance Cpl. Schofield (George MacKay) and Lance Cpl. Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) face the seemingly impossible task of delivering crucial orders to comrades entrenched deep in enemy territory.Â
The drama is hammered home by the fact that one of the 1,600 British troops stuck behind enemy lines is the brother of Lance Cpl. Blake. And while the film's two leading men weren't necessarily A-listers before 1917, the movie is added some serious star gravitas courtesy of appearances from Colin Firth and Benedict Cumerbatch.
If you haven't seen it already, 1917 was one of last year's most impressive movies - so follow our guide as we explain how to watch 1917 online no matter where you are in the world.
