War feasts upon death. It's greedy appetite carries away many a life on the battlefield, and soldiers must be ready to die at any time. Yet all these sacrifices can be given meaning and reason with honor.
Amid the bloody field of war, Captain Guzidi led the Ninth Company infantry unit on a sniper mission. With orders to fight until the retreat assembly call was sounded, Gu watched powerless as the ammunition ran out and his men fell one by one. Not until later did Gu realize that all the neighbouring troops had already left the field, and that his entire company had maybe died in vain because of his stubborn obedience following orders. Blinded by anger and guilt, Gu marched straight into the enemy's trench.
But his life is spared, and he had no choice but to shoulder the gargantuan weight of guilt and mystery that would burden the remainder of his life...

Epic, powerful, unforgettable
Didn' watch this film, it was one for the boys!
Reduced me to tears, set during the Korean war, starts out with really realistic war battle scenes but then becomes more about one mans fight for recognition of his own hero's. great film you will enjoy this even if your not into war films,very moving film.
