The story takes place in the trenches of World War I, and the powerlessness and irony of the war fills the whole film. In the rear, the general who lived in a beautiful castle comfortably, gave an order to the army Colonel Dax, who was selling his life on the front line to kill the enemy, to occupy Ante Mountain at any cost. This order was tantamount to letting the soldiers commit suicide under the conditions of the war, and the mission was doomed to fail. In order to cover up his fatal mistake, the general ordered the arrest of three innocent soldiers, claiming that they had committed the crimes of fleeing and mutiny. Dax was a lawyer before enlisting in the army, and he volunteered to act as a defender for three soldiers. But soon he discovered that unless it can be proved that the general was at fault, only a miracle can rescue these few soldiers who are in danger...

"Road to Glory" is a brilliant film masterpiece that makes a sharp accusation against military politics, and it is also a film journey that both audiences and filmmakers can't forget.
