English Summary:

Paths of Glory is a 1957 American anti-war film co-written and directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel of the same name by Humphrey Cobb.[3] Set during World War I, the film stars Kirk Douglas as Colonel Dax, the commanding officer of French soldiers who refuse to continue a suicidal attack, after which Dax attempts to defend them against a charge of cowardice in a court-martial.

 

The film begins with a voiceover describing the trench warfare situation of World War I up to 1916. In a château, General Georges Broulard, a member of the French General Staff, asks his subordinate, the ambitious General Mireau, to send his division on a suicide mission to take a well-defended German position called the "Anthill". Mireau initially refuses, citing the impossibility of success, but when Broulard mentions a potential promotion, Mireau quickly convinces himself the attack will succeed.

 

Mireau proceeds to walk through the trenches, asking several soldiers, "Ready to kill more Germans?" He throws a private out of the regiment for showing signs of shell shock. Mireau leaves the detailed planning of the attack to Colonel Dax of the 701st regiment, despite Dax's protests that the only result of the attack will be to weaken the French Army with heavy losses for no benefit.

 

 

Hungarian Summary:

Franciaország az I. világháborúban, 1916-ban: a törtető Mireau tábornok egyik alakulatának parancsot ad egy erős német állás megtámadására. Az akció esélytelen ugyan, de kedvezően befolyásolhatja az ő előléptetését. Dax ezredes, amint az előre látható volt, egyenesen német ágyútűzbe vezeti embereit. Amikor ezután katonáival visszavonul, Mireau 100 katonáját gyávaság vádjával halálra ítéli. Dax védelmébe veszi ugyan az embereit, de nem tudja megvédeni őket a brutális eljárással szemben. A tábornok végül enyhít ugyan a büntetés mértékén, de három katonát mégis kivégeztet. A veszélyesen sokat tudó Daxtól úgy szabadul meg, hogy visszaküldi az első frontvonalakba.
