| Summary |
The highest-grossing silent film of all time, as well as the first realistic war drama, tells the harrowing story of wealthy James Apperson (John Gilbert) who deploys as a soldier to the front lines in France in World War I. The film fiercely captures the heroism of the ordinary foot soldier struggling to survive, and how James' determination to return to the village girl he loves faces the ultimate test. |
