Safe in their picturesque chateau behind the front lines, the French general staff passes down a direct order to Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas): take the Ant Hill at any cost. A blatant suicide mission, the attack is doomed to failure. Covering up their fatal blunder, the generals order the arrest of three innocent soldiers, charging them with cowardice and mutiny. Dax, a lawyer in civilian life, rises to the men's defense but soon realizes that, unless he can prove that the generals were to blame, nothing less than a miracle will save his clients from the firing squad. A compelling masterpiece from world-class director/writer Stanley Kubrick and screenwriters Calder Willingham and JimThompson, Paths of Glory is a blistering indictment of military politics and "an unforgettable movie experience"
1916, le conflit entre la France et l'Allemagne s'enlise dans une guerre de positions extrêmement meurtrière. Le général Broulard incite le général Mireau à lancer une offensive totalement suicidaire contre une position allemande réputée imprenable. Le colonel Dax reçoit l'ordre de mener cette attaque. Les hommes tombent en grand nombre et leurs camarades refusent de poursuivre l'opération. Mireau ordonne alors aux batteries françaises de bombarder leurs propres troupes pour les contraindre à avancer
