The film's setting takes place in 1919, as Joshua Connor (portrayed by Crowe), an Australian farmer, begins a search for his three sons, all of whom went missing following the horrific battle at Gallipoli, Turkey in 1915. As the story progresses, Crowe gets involved with the Greek-Turkish War of 1919-1922. The film's cast also includes Olga Kurylenko, Jai Courtney, Cem Yilmaz, and Yilmaz Erdogan.
