Paths of Glory (1957) tells the story of an impossible battle in World War I. Though everyone knows the battle can not be won, higher interests and promised promotions speak louder at the cost of many lives. The evaluation of the failed battle comes in martial trial where three surviving soldiers are tried on cowardice in face of the enemy so that high ranking officials keep their reputations regarding battle decisions. Superb acting by Kirk Douglas and directing by Stanley Kubrick.
