"Edward Berger directs the film adaptation of the anti-war novel by Erich Maria Remarque. Paul B?umer enlists in the Army because of the romanticized version of the First World War that he and his friends believe to be true. It isn't long before these beliefs are shattered. Paul is thrust into the trenches, barely trained and even less equipped. Only with the help of a combat veteran does he survive the first day, seeing firsthand the reality of what war really is. "
