The Young Lions

The lives of three young men, a German and two Americans, during WWII.

Details

The Young Lions (1958) follows the journeys of three young men - a German soldier, a Jewish-American entertainer, and an American soldier - as their lives intertwine during the tumultuous period of World War II. As they navigate the complexities of war, they each grapple with personal and moral dilemmas that challenge their beliefs and loyalties. Through their individual experiences, the film explores themes of friendship, love, and the impact of war on the human spirit.

The German soldier, Christian Diestl, finds himself questioning the ideals he once upheld as he witnesses the atrocities of the Nazi regime. Meanwhile, the Jewish-American entertainer, Michael Whiteacre, faces discrimination and bigotry from his fellow soldiers despite his unwavering patriotism. Lastly, the American soldier, Noah Ackerman, must confront his own fears and doubts as he fights for a cause greater than himself.

Through their interconnected stories, The Young Lions offers a poignant portrayal of the human cost of war and the ways in which it shapes the lives of those who are caught in its grip.
