Povestea urmareste un grup de recruti germani in Primul Razboi Mondial in drumul lor de la idealism la deziluzie. Asa cum spune prsonajul principal (Lew Ayres), "Traim in transee si luptam. Incercam sa nu fim ucisi - asta e tot."
Filmul este o antologie de scene faimoase: Ayres prins intr-un crater de obuz impreuna cu omul pe care il omorase; prima intalnire intre veterani si recruti; infanteristi secerati de mitraliere; lumina lunii care inoata impreuna cu fermiere frantuzoaice; discursul pacifist al lui Ayres; si culminand cu impuscarea mainii unui soldat care dorea sa atinga un fluture.
