A ragtag group of American stragglers battles against superior Communist troops in an abandoned Buddhist temple during the Korean War.
VIBE
This is a raw, unflinching look at the brutal realities of combat. It feels immediate and desperate, with a palpable sense of exhaustion and the grim determination to simply survive another day.
