Anyone who has an eagle for a father dreams of flying. The young Duke of Reichstadt, nicknamed "L'Aiglon" ("the young eagle"), is the only legitimate male descendant of Napoleon Bonaparte and wants to follow in his famous father's footsteps and make history himself. Encouraged by war veteran Flambeau, he wants to escape the golden cage in Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, where Austrian Chancellor Metternich is keeping him imprisoned: Napoleon's son with Marie-Louise of Austria wants to regain control of France. But the young bird's wings break when he sets foot on a battlefield for the first time in his life and hears the ghostly voices of the fallen. He begins to understand what the reality of war really means.
