Road to Eternity (第四部戦雲篇) is a 1959 Japanese film co-written and directed by Masaki Kobayashi. It is the second part of The Human Condition trilogy.
Stephen Prince states that "Kobayashi makes "The Road to Eternity" into an excoriation of the Imperial Army. The film is focused, as he said, on "a theme of resistance to the inhumane military organization."
