Synopsis : During the First World War, two French soldiers are captured and
imprisoned in a German POW camp. Several escape attempts follow until
they are sent to a seemingly impenetrable fortress which seems
impossible to escape from.
The story concerns class relationships among a small group of French officers who are prisoners of war during World War I and are plotting an escape.
The title of the film comes from a book—The Great Illusion by British economist Norman Angell—which argued that war is futile because of the common economic interests of all European nations. The perspective of the film is generously humanistic to its characters of various nationalities.

Lists - #35 in "The 100 Best Films Of World Cinema" in 2010 by Empire magazine
Roger Ebert Top 100 List

Special Mention - Influenced two famous later movie sequences. The digging of the escape tunnel in The Great Escape and the singing of the "Marseillaise" to enrage the Germans in Casablanca can first be observed in Renoir's 1937 masterpiece.
