Synopsis

The first film that brought Stanley Kubrick both wide acclaim and controversy, this films is a monument to the anti-human aspects of war. Kirk Douglas is cast as a man of peace who answers his country's call to war. He and his regiment are set up for suicide missions and are generally manipulated in ways that show no regard for human life. PATHS OF GLORY is one of the best studies of men in armed conflict ever to be recorded on film.

"One of the greatest anti-war films ever made."
