About this release
"In this slim British wartime drama, Tom is a typical 18-year-old Briton who goes into military service early in 1944. The film follows the protagonist through the rigors of training and the shock of his first battle. Tom is killed on D-Day -- hence the film's title, an allusion to ""Operation Overlord."""
