Inspired by an extraordinary true story, 'The Dig' reimagines the 1939 excavation of Sutton Hoo. Convinced that there are some treasures within the burial mounds on her estate, a wealthy widow and landowner named Edith Pretty (Carey Mulligan) hires an amateur archaeologist named Basil Brown (Ralph Fiennes) to excavate the area.

He makes an incredible, ancient discovery which soon has museums vying for a piece of the pie. A team assembles to fully excavate the area. But they are racing against the clock as a second world war seems imminent.

'The Dig' also stars Lily James, Johnny Flynn, Ben Chaplin, Ken Stott, and Monica Dolan.

'The Dig' streams on Netflix from 29 January.
