A look at the men who fight the war., 18 May 2003
6/10
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

Anthony Mann directs this low budget, but realistic glimpse of the men that crawl, scratch and lay their lives on the ground to accomplish their military objective. Lt. Benson(Robert Ryan)and his platoon find themselves surrounded in enemy territory during the Korean War. The battle-worn outfit is assigned to take command of one more hill infested with snipers. Plenty of action with eye catching camera shots and close-ups. Also featured are: Aldo Ray, James Edwards, Phillip Pine and Vic Morrow. Robert Keith plays the shell-shocked Colonel. Really worthwhile.
