Veteran filmmaker Samuel Fuller writes and directs this war drama about conscience and survival. It is kill or be killed. Richard Basehart plays Corporal Denno, who is intellectual and refined hiding his fear of assuming responsibility as he is part of platoon forming a rear guard against the enemy while the rest of the regiment retreats to regroup. Denno feels he is in a near-perilous situation as he watches three superiors get picked off one by one. Physically Denno is a good soldier; but mentally he fears taking command and being responsible for the men who serve under him.
