What movie puts the protagonist through the absolute ringer for it to all pay off in the end?

Das Boot is the movie you show an engineer if you want them to be anti-war.

The submarine itself is as much a character as the rest of the crew, and it fights alongside them through every struggle...

...only to die a pointless death at the end. A beautiful machine wasted on the cause of warfare.
