Designed as an allegory of the futility of war, the film tells the fate of five men from five different countries.

They all have different origins and have little in common as private people. During the First World War, all five dispersed men find themselves in a dugout in no-man's land between the fronts: while the war rages around them and shells pound to their left and right, the five men, whose fate has turned them from enemies into allies in the fight for bare survival, gradually draw closer to each other. One of them, the Jewish tailor, has lost his speech after a war-related shock. The African soldier serves the men as an interpreter. | ||

Hell on Earth (also known as No Man's Land) is a 1931 German film directed by Victor Trivas.
