When soldiers in World War I refuse to continue with an impossible attack, their superior officers decide to make an example of them.
One of the most bitterly angry anti-war movies ever made.
It is arguably the best film about the first world war, and still has a reasonable claim to being Stanley Kubrick's best film.
A film that's so down with people, it's often hard to stomach.
Paths of Glory proves Kubrick is still king of the cinematic dust-up
