Paths of Glory - 1958 - Stanley Kubrick


French soldiers refuse to leave their trenches to attack the "Ant Hill", a heavily fortified German defensive emplacement. To do so would be suicide, as everybody knows...except the French general who has ordered the attack. When the French soldiers ordered to attack simply refuse to do so, some are chosen to be executed as a message to any French soldiers in the future who might consider disobeying an order. Can these soldiers be saved from execution? You can watch the film and see here:
