Core Premise & Plot
The story is set on a single day—September 6, 1950—during the early stages of the Korean War.
The Mission: A battle-weary lieutenant (Robert Ryan) and his isolated platoon are cut off behind enemy lines. They must march through dangerous, sniper-infested territory to reach Hill 465 for potential relief.
The Conflict: Along the way, they encounter a cynical sergeant (Aldo Ray) who is fiercely protective of his shell-shocked colonel (Robert Keith). The film focuses on the intense interpersonal friction between the lieutenant, who is duty-bound, and the sergeant, who is motivated by personal loyalty.
