Journey's End is a 2018 British war drama directed by Saul Dibb based on the play of the same name by R. C. Sherriff. In a dugout in Aisne in 1918, in the lead up to the famous German Spring Offensive, Second Lieutenant Raleigh, a replacement officer, is assigned to company commanded by former school-friend Captain Stanhope, only to discover several years in the trenches has turned Stanhope into a bitter, self-loathing alcoholic. This is fifth film adaptation of the novel. In the first adaptation Capt. Stanhope was portrayed by Colin Clive.
