Synopsis
La guerre ne fait aucun vainqueurs, seulement des survivants. La tuerie détruit autant ceux qui tuent que ceux qui sont tués ; parce qu'elle assassine la décence, le respect de soi-même et finalement la vie elle-même. L'histoire suit les pas d'un bataillon de jeunes soldats américains aux premiers jours de la Bataille d'Angleterre, à travers les violents combats en Italie et en France, jusqu'à la paix difficile, à Berlin.Actors

In Strasbourg in 1800, fervent Bonapartist and obsessive duellist Lieutenant Gabriel Feraud (Harvey Keitel) of the French 7th Hussars, nearly kills the nephew of the city's mayor in a sword duel. Under pressure from the mayor, Brigadier-General Treillard (Robert Stephens) sends a member of his staff, Lieutenant Armand d'Hubert (Keith Carradine) of the 3rd Hussars, to put Feraud under house arrest. As the arrest takes place in the house of Madame de Lionne (Jenny Runacre), a prominent local lady, Feraud takes it as a personal insult from d'Hubert. Matters are made worse when Feraud asks d'Hubert if he would "let them spit on Napoleon" and d'Hubert doesn't immediately reply. Upon reaching his quarters, Feraud challenges d'Hubert to a duel. The duel is inconclusive; d'Hubert slashes Feraud's forearm but is unable to finish him off, because he is attacked by Feraud's housemaid. As a result of his part in the duel, d'Hubert is dismissed from the General's staff and returned to active duty with his unit.
