“Before Dawn” is an epic recounting of one of Australia’s pivotal victories during WWI, inspired by real-life war diaries. Jim Collins, a young man from the Australian outback, leaves his family’s sheep station to enlist in the ANZAC forces, driven by a fervent desire to make a meaningful impact on the Western Front.

However, the brutal realities of war — marked by mud, ruthlessness, and unforgiving conditions — quickly wear down Jim and his comrades.
