主要情节来自真实事件，影片从1994年的一所医院里两名受伤青年的回忆始，两人从小就是好朋友，一个是塞尔维亚人，另一个是穆斯林。1992年南斯拉夫发生种族冲突，使得两人的友谊受到严峻考验。塞尔维亚巡逻兵和一名美国记者被一群穆斯林民兵困在一个连接贝尔格莱德的隧道里昔日的朋友如今因为属于不同的种族而成为死敌，他们一困就是好多天，缺水缺粮，逃生无望。既然等死，他们居然在里面表现起杂耍来了，黑色幽默可见一斑。 在南斯拉夫本土卖座鼎盛，国外好评如潮；这部东欧的话题作品，更是当年奥斯卡最佳外语片的大热门。不但人物性格突出，黑色幽默大胆破格，更难得的是以一部塞尔维亚制作贯彻反战主题，立场不偏不倚。但正由于片中塞军及回教徒都同样好战，又把官方的宣传与暴行并置，在国内各方（除了老共党和极右派）都不讨好也是自然不过。影片在真正被波斯尼亚战火烧毁的村庄实地拍摄，五段时空来回剪接，风格凌厉气势逼人。这是一部尖锐又幽默的反战影片。
