An eager young German soldier, one of an entire class that enlisted en masse, encounters the ugly reality of war. He returns briefly to his school with this report: "We live in the trenches and we fight. We try not to be killed. That is all." Quite possibly the strongest anti-war statement ever made in cinema. Won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director; received additional nominations for Best Writing and Best Cinematography. Entered 1990 into the National Film Registry.
