    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The horse that Russell Crowe rides in the scenes shot in Australia is actually his own horse Honey.
    • Goofs
      The Turks storm the (empty) ANZAC trenches on the 20th December 1915. The movie portrays this as a sunny day with hot weather. In reality snow and frost appeared as far back as November with as many as 16,000 cases of frostbite and exposure reported for November alone.
    • Quotes
      • Lt-Col Cyril Hughes: Yeah, We both know it, but why change everything for one father who can't stay put?
      • Major Hasan: Because he is the only father who came looking.
    • Crazy credits
      The final credit is a congratulatory well done to the South Sydney Rabbitohs Rugby League Football Club winning the NRL Premiership in 2014. Russell Crowe supports, and owns 37.5% of the South Sydney Rabbitohs, which is most likely the reason why the credit was included.
