The Great War is a 2019 American war drama film written and directed by Steven Luke and starring Bates Wilder, Hiram A. Murray, Billy Zane and Ron Perlman.[1][2]

Pershing (Ron Perlman), with rescuing a regiment of African-American soldiers trapped behind enemy lines. In doing so, he confronts not only the perils of the mission, but the racism of many of the white soldiers towards their Black comrades-in-arms.
