The British war drama The Trench, featuring Daniel Craig and Cillian Murphy, will soon be removed from a UK streaming service. The film, released in 1999, follows a group of soldiers getting ready to fight in the Battle of the Somme in 1916.
The film takes place during World War I, showing a group of British soldiers waiting in a French trench for the command to attack.
Hey, heads up fellow gamers! I just found out that The Trench is leaving Prime Video soon. It’s disappearing in about 14 days, according to JustWatch, so if you want to check it out, you’ve got about two weeks left!

Craig plays the role of Telford Winter, a seasoned sergeant with a family waiting for him at home. Murphy portrays Rag Rookwood, a fresh-faced young private.
Ben Whishaw, Danny Dyer, James D’Arcy, Julian Rhind-Tutt, and Paul Nicholls join Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan in the film’s impressive cast.
In a review, The New York Times called the film “stirring,” and noted that The Trench is part of a long tradition of war movies that powerfully illustrate the senselessness of conflict and the heartbreaking loss of young people, all while maintaining a quiet but intense sense of outrage.
What makes The Trench stand out is how powerfully it portrays revulsion. The soldiers, raised on anti-German beliefs, are surprisingly eager for battle, despite not really understanding what they’re fighting for—they simply believe they need to defeat a vilified enemy.
Variety magazine described the director’s first film as a moving and deliberately paced story about the two days leading up to the Battle of the Somme in 1916—a battle remembered as the deadliest in British Army history.
The film thoughtfully and carefully explores the difficult emotions of soldiers waiting to go over the top – the fear, frustration, anxiety, anger, and sheer boredom they felt as they faced the horrors ahead.
Over the next month, Prime Video will also be losing access to all 25 James Bond movies, as well as popular films like Bridget Jones’s Baby, A Quiet Place, and When Harry Met Sally.
The Trench is leaving Prime Video in the next 30 days.
