All Quiet on the Western Front is a hard-hitting, timeless masterpiece that follows a group of idealistic young men as they naively join the German Army in WWI only to find their patriotism destroyed by the brash and bloody realities of combat while on

assignment at the Western Front. As Universal Studios’ first Academy Award® winning film for Best Picture, this revered classic earned Lewis Milestone an Oscar for Best Director and nominations for Best Writing and Best Cinematography. The prestigious American Film Institute lists All Quiet on the Western Front as one of the “100 Greatest American Films,” as well as one of their “Top 10 Most Epic Films.”

 

All Quiet on the Western Front on Blu-ray is being released in celebration of Universal‘s 100th Anniversary.
