The forgotten heroes

DramaHistoryWar

Korean War, September 1950. In order to fight the enemy forces based in the South of the peninsula, General MacArthur orders the start of the Incheon Landing Operation, deploying diversionary attacks in other locations. Without real military forces to spare, 772 very young Korean student soldiers, barely trained, are sent to Jangsari Beach, where they will face a heroic fate and discover the value of friendship. (A sequel to Operation Chromite, released in 2016.)

VIBE

This film feels like a grim, yet ultimately inspiring, tribute to young lives caught in the brutal machinery of war. It's a somber look at sacrifice and the bonds forged under fire, told with a sense of historical weight.
