Paths Of Glory (bluray)
Safe in their picturesque chateau behind the front lines_ the French general staff passes down a direct order to Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas): take the Ant Hill at any cost. A blatant suicide mission_ the attack is doomed to failure. Covering up their fatal blunder_ the generals order the arrest of three innocent soldiers_ charging them with cowardice and mutiny. Dax_ a lawyer in civilian life_ rises to the mens defense but soon realizes that_ unless he can prove that the generals were to blame_nothing less than a miracle will save his clients from the firing squad. A compelling masterpiece from world-class director/writer Stanley Kubrick and screenwriters Calder Willingham and JimThompson_ Paths of Glory is a blistering indictment of military politics and 'an unforgettable movie experience' (Newsweek).
