Synopsis
Korea, 1952. Cut off from Easy Company, Lt. Tom Flagler and his patrol are caught between the shifting lines of war. With Flagler's group is a three-man British tank crew, a pair of plumbers - a mortar team - separated from their squad, and a female civilian who was helping war refugees. Through skirmishes and setbacks, the makeshift unit pushes on to Muscle Hill, where Easy Company last encamped. They find no one alive. Then, Flagler and his outnumbered force get orders: hold the hill. Richard Conte (The Godfather) portrays Flagler in this tense tale of Korean War combat that includes fascinating scenes of how coordinated air and offshore forces support frontline boots on the ground. Among the players joining Conte are Charles Bronson (Death Wish), Peggie Castle (Lawman), Chuck Connors (The Rifleman) and LQ. jones (The Wild Bunch).
