朱迪·丹奇商谈加盟惊悚片《6分钟到午夜》(Six Minutes To Midnight),此前艾迪·伊扎德已确定主演。安迪·高达(《唐顿庄园》《燃烧星辰》)执导,伊扎德与塞林·琼斯编写剧本,伊扎德饰演文学和语言老师托马斯·米勒,父母是英国/德国人,他为德国女子联盟教授课程。二战将临,米勒在与联盟领导、希特勒的忠实拥趸起冲突之后,被诬陷是德国间谍并牵扯到谋杀案中。丹奇将饰演严厉女校长Rocholl,在米勒逃亡的过程中对其提供帮助。
本片改编自德国作家雷马克的同名小说,围绕一名在一战中的普通德国士兵保罗·鲍曼(理查德·托马斯 Richard Thomas饰),作为整个西线残酷战争中的小小缩影。战争的残酷性和毁灭性使他的英雄主义彻底破灭。保罗从迷恋战争到目睹战争后的心灰意冷,他才意识到战争的恐怖及其对人性的摧残。尾声,死一般沉寂的前线出现了鸟鸣,保罗循声而找。突然一句战地报告打破了这短暂的宁静与和谐,影片在“西部前线一切平静”中结束。 本部由美国导演德尔伯特·曼于1979年翻拍的电视版本《西线无战事》,在当年电视艾美奖上获得多项提名,并荣获金球奖最佳电视电影。1930年拍摄的版本已成为反战题材的经典之作,本作虽在艺术创新性上不如旧作,但导演仍以沉重的笔触和纯熟的手法,道尽战争的荒谬无情。
