Die jungen Löwen

Die Geschichte

Edward Dmytryks Film nach dem Bestseller von Irwin Shaw schildert das Schicksal von zwei amerikanischen und zwei deutschen Soldaten im zweiten Weltkrieg. Michael Whiteacre und sein Freund Noah halten nichts vom Krieg. Beide hoffen auf einen ruhigen Job in der Armee. Stattdessen aber werden sie zu einer Fronteinheit abkommandiert, die unter dem Befehl des sadistischen Menschenschinders Rickett steht. Sie machen die Erfahrung, dass der Feind nicht nur auf der anderen Seite der Front ist. Die gleiche Einsicht haben auf der deutschen Seite Leutnant Diestl und Hauptmann Hardenburg, nachdem der Krieg auch ihr Leben zerstört hat. Die Geschichte dieser vier Männer dokumentiert eine Generation, die von der erbarmungslosen Grausamkeit des Krieges geprägt wurde.
