Wege zum Ruhm
Frankreich im Ersten Weltkrieg. Die Ruhmsucht des General Mireau wird für seine Soldaten zum tödlichen Verhängnis: Er gibt Schießbefehl auf verloren geglaubte Teile seiner Bastion und hält Kriegsgericht über die eigenen Männer. Nur der couragierte Colonel Dax wagt es, sich dem machtgierigen Mireau entgegen zu stellen. Doch im Krieg kann es keine Gewinner geben.
