This is an English language film (made in America) adapted from a novel by German author Erich Maria Remarque. The film follows a group of German schoolboys, talked into enlisting at the beginning of World War 1 by their jingoistic teacher. The story is told entirely through the experiences of the young German recruits and highlights the tragedy of war through the eyes of individuals. As the boys witness death and mutilation all around them, any preconceptions about "the enemy" and the "rights and wrongs" of the conflict disappear, leaving them angry and bewildered. This is highlighted in the scene where Paul mortally wounds a French soldier and then weeps bitterly as he fights to save his life while trapped in a shell crater with the body. The film is not about heroism but about drudgery and futility and the gulf between the concept of war and the actuality. 故事的背景是第一次世界大戰期間,一位十九歲的學生保羅·博伊默尔(Paul Bäumer)在學校教師的激勵下跟同學莱尔(Leer)、米勒(Müller)等參加國民志願兵,在接受十個星期嚴厲的新兵訓練之後,就被派往前線與法軍作戰,戰爭的的無情讓他有如活在地獄中,戰壕內都是老鼠、虱子,烈性傳染病威�
{著每個士兵的生命。保羅眼看著同學們一個個陣亡,或受傷送到野戰醫院,野戰醫院設備簡陋、藥品缺乏,傷患的死亡率極高。小說中極度描寫著傷亡的可怕,“中了毒的傷兵一連幾天哽塞著,把他們灼傷的肺給一塊塊地咳出來。”保羅一回受傷被送到一處較好的教會醫院,發現教會的地下室有「临终病房」。少數生還者之一的保羅因傷放假回到故鄉,發現前線與後方的差距很大,父親帶著他要去向朋友炫耀,大家都相信政府的宣傳,以為德國就快打贏了。在學校裡教師坎拖雷克依然激情的鼓動學生上戰場。
重回前線後,有一次保羅在战壕中抽出匕首向敵人胸口刺上一刀,這位法國士兵並沒有立即死去,呻吟了一整晚,善良的保羅想伸出援手時,敵人已斷氣,保羅拿出對方的記事本,想寫信告知他的家人,卻發現這名法國人當兵前是一位排字工人。1918年夏天,卡特的一隻腿被炸斷,保羅跌跌撞撞地背負著受傷的卡特回到營區,但醫官說他已經死了,一個小小的彈屑擊中他的頭部。在根据小说改编的同名电影中, 1918年10月保羅在一次戍守勤務時,看到戰壕外有一隻蝴蝶。他探手去抓那隻蝴蝶,不幸敵方狙擊手的流彈擊中,當場死亡。那一天整个前线是那么沉寂和宁静,第二天德國報紙刊載:「西線無戰事」。
