“Classic film adaptation about a group of young German recruits during the First World War and their path from idealism to disillusionment.
The main character Paul Baumer (Lew Ayres) and his comrades fight in the trenches where the days are spent killing and not being killed. Any preconceived notions they’ve had about who the enemy is and what’s right and wrong are erased, leaving them angry and confused. In war there is no glory only death.”
