​During WW I, two French officers, Captain De Boeldieu and Lieutenant Marechal are shot down and captured by Captain von Rauffenstein. The former is an aristocrat while Marechal was a mechanic in civilian life. They are ultimately held in a converted fortress commanded by the aristocrat von Rauffenstein but treated differently because of their station. De Boeldieu develops a good relationship with Rauffenstein, but Marechal and fellow prisoner Rosenthal, not receiving aristocracy privileges, long to escape.
