The film is a disturbing and grim war movie which focuses for 2 hours on the hell which a group of soldiers and their families go through. Set in 1950's China, they soldiers focused on are fighting for The Republic of China against Communist China. In a number of set pieces we see their homes blown up; them spending days running from the Communists with women and children only to be massacred; hike through a forest in the cold with no food or water only to continue to fight for what they believe in.
