Field of Honor ( French: Champ d'honneur) is a 1987 French war film directed by Jean-Pierre Denis. It was entered into the 1987 Cannes Film Festival. [1]
In France, impoverished sharecropper Pierre (Cris Campion) is spared military service when he draws an exemption via a draft lottery. Needing money more than his freedom, however, Pierre sells his exemption to the son of wealthy aristocrat Arnaud (Eric Wapler), taking the son's place in the draft. When the Franco-Prussian War erupts, Pierre finds himself wounded inside enemy territory and gains an unlikely ally in a German soldier who also entered the war as a replacement.
