The saga of Tom Holmes - a man of principles - from the Great War to the Great Depression. Will he ever get a break? His war heroics earn fame and a medal for someone else, and his wounds result in a morphine addiction that costs him a job, his reputation in his home town, and months in a clinic. He goes to Chicago, where he's enterprising and dedicated to his work and his fellow workers, but an invention he champions results in the opposite of his intentions, leading to loss of life and an unjust imprisonment. After release, during the Depression, he must face local "red squads" and vigilante groups jousting out jobless men. Will anyone see his true heroic character?
战后电影,触及了工业革命下美国社会的劳工和社会问题,一部难得的好电影
假如Tom军功没有被朋友冒领而以英雄身份回国,像他这样正直宽厚坚韧实干的人,命运想必会是截然不同的另一条路。本片完美地讲述了一个完全利他者好人没好报的故事,从一战战场到大萧条到沦为反共浪潮牺牲品,最后颠沛流离的Tom在雨夜又遇到那位朋友,却仍言及罗斯福总统就职演说,对美国未来怀抱信念。
战争、军界、爱情、商界、法制、阶级、经济、慈善、教育和美国梦。
英雄何价.Heroes for Sale.
有些洗脑和圣人情怀,但是在大萧条时期能以己度人太难得。没有钱你就是垃圾,至理名言。

如果电影结束在两个战友在雨中的话,那么电影的品质还要更高一些,现在的这个结尾有点画蛇添足,当然瑕不掩瑜这是一部具有极强现实意义的佳作。借着影片中一个插科打诨的角色德裔发明家,编导说出了不少发人深思的话。PS“你以前讨厌资本家,自然!只是那是在我有钱之前。”
