Zweiter Weltkrieg, auf der russischen Halbinsel Taman im Jahr 1943: Die deutschen Truppen befinden sich auf dem Rückzug vor der vorrückenden Roten Armee. Mitten in den Wirren des Rückzuges treffen zwei Charaktere aufeinander: Der desillusionierte Feldwebel Steiner, der nicht mehr an den Sieg glaubt, und der fanatische Hauptmann Stransky, dessen ganzer Ehrgeiz nur dem Eisernen Kreuz gilt. Die Feindschaft zwischen den beiden wächst zu einem hasserfüllten Privatkrieg aus. Stransky lässt Steiners Kolonne hinter der russischen Front ins Verderben rennen.

    Absolutely epicly watchable Peckinpah, not all of his are, they may be great but this is a cohesive storyline. Tells another side of German soldiers just trying to maintain their humanity as proud Germans...not all were monsters, most were just soldiers like you or me.

    Liked the chaotic pace and framing of the movie it truly fits the subject. However I found the ending very unsatisfying and foolish.

    Another great action sequence war movie but also allows the characters to show their personal side. Script needed a better ending.

    Cross of Iron is a brutal, unflinching war film that stands out for showing the conflict from the German side—something rarely explored with such honesty. Sam Peckinpah’s signature chaotic, gritty style is on full display, painting war as senseless, exhausting, and corrosive to everyone involved. James Coburn delivers a powerful performance as Sergeant Steiner, a battle-weary soldier whose face alone conveys the futility and despair of endless fighting. Yet despite his disillusionment, Steiner remains fiercely loyal to his men, embodying a raw, grounded bravery. Maximilian Schell offers a sharp counterpoint as the newly arrived officer desperately chasing glory and the prestigious Iron Cross, even at the cost of others’ lives. Their conflict drives the film’s tension, highlighting pride, class resentment, and the moral collapse of war. While Cross of Iron may not be Peckinpah’s finest work, it is undeniably impactful—chaotic, violent, deeply antiwar, and ultimately an engrossing, memorable piece of cinema.
