Die große Illusion (1937)
Zwei französische Soldaten, der adelige Captain De Boeldieu und Lieutenant Marechal, geraten im Ersten Weltkrieg in Kriegsgefangenschaft. Zusammen mit einem anderen Gefangenen namens Rosenthal planen sie zu fliehen, doch sie werden noch vor ihrem Fluchtversuch getrennt und an verschiedenen Orten untergebracht. Wenige Monate später sehen sie sich wieder, und zwar in einer Festung, die von dem ebenfalls adeligen van Rauffenstein kommandiert wird. Obwohl die Gefangenen hier sehr gut behandelt werden, sind die Fluchtpläne immer noch aktuell. Trotz allem entwickelt sich eine Freundschaft zwischen Boldieu und dem deutschen Kommandanten und schon bald sind Pflicht und Menschlichkeit nicht mehr vereinbar.
