If I understand your idea here, the movie that comes to mind the most for me would be The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957). The OBJECT of the conflict would be "the bridge" itself.
For Alec Guinness, the bridge is a symbol of triumph over suffering as well as a lasting symbol of British building skills under extreme conditions, something that will last as part of the British spirit.
For the Allies, the bridge is something that must be destroyed to achieve victory of the Japanese.
As I recall, the final words of the movie are something like: "This is MADNESS, total Madness."
And, while on the subject of Bridges, how about For Whom the Bell Tolls, where Gary Cooper has to explain to Ingrid Bergman that 'I am a part of you and you are a part of me now...we will go on together' (long speech there). Then........
Robert Jordan : Are you afraid?
Maria : Not now. I love you, Roberto. Always remember. I love you as I loved my father and mother, as I love our unborn children, as I love what I love most in the world, and I love you more. Always remember.
Robert Jordan : I'll remember.
Maria : Nothing can ever part us now, can it?
Robert Jordan : Nothing, Maria.
