Storyline

In Korea, on 6 September 1950, Lieutenant Benson's platoon finds itself isolated in enemy-held territory after a retreat. Soon they are joined by Sergeant Montana, whose overriding concern is caring for his catatonic colonel. Benson and Montana can't stand each other, but together they must get the survivors to Hill 465, where they hope the division is waiting. It's a long, harrowing march, fraught with all the dangers the elusive enemy can summon. Who will survive? Written by Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: Lt Benson asks one of his troops to wake him at 0500 (5:00 a.m.). But when Benson arises at that time, the sun is shining brightly. The shallow shadows indicate the actual time is probably mid-morning or mid-afternoon. See more »

Quotes

Sgt. Montana: You said you wanted to get one man alive out of your platoon. Well you got your wish, only double, there's you and me. Ain't that something.
Lt. Benson: Forget it. We'll never see the morning.
Sgt. Montana: Yes we will. They can't hurt us anymore now. They threw everything at us. Rifle fire, grenades, four twos, artillery. I'm telling you, they can't scratch us. If we wanted to take that hill, we could take it easy, the two of us.
Lt. Benson: With what?
Sgt. Montana: We're lucky, we're lucky. With guts we'll take 'em. We still got the flamethrower.
Lt. Benson: Yeah.
Sgt. Montana: Let's go get it.
Lt. Benson: Wait.
Sgt. Montana: You'll go with me?
Lt. Benson: Yeah, but wait.
