A True Story of Perseverance and Survival.
What if you survived a bombing but no one knew? Based on a harrowing true story from WWII, The Blockhouse paints an indelible picture of the psychology of despair. Starring screen legend Peter Sellers (Dr. Strangelove) in a rare dramatic role, "this real-life horror story" (Monthly Film Bulletin) captivates as it chills.
The Allied bombardment of Normandy sends seven forced laborers into a concrete bunker. At first, they are ecstatic to discover a plethora of food, wine, candles and other necessities - until they realize they are completely trapped. As time passes, fear gives way to boredom, which in turn gives way to despondency. Each man struggles to keep a grip on his sanity and maintain hope, but can there be a rescue if no one knows you're alive?
