Two young Australian friends from distinct backgrounds are caught up on the Eastern Front of World War I in the confrontation between Australia and the German Allied Turks. Bungling by the generals in command allows the Turks time to dig in and the battle becomes a mutual war of attrition. (Paramount Home Entertainment)
