It's May 1953. The Korean War's end is in sight. It would finish in less than three months. Private Loomis (Robert Redford) is a new soldier sent to the front line. Private Endore (John Saxon) sneaks out at night to infiltrate enemy lines and kill. The squad has a young Korean boy as their mascot.
It's a minor war movie most notable for a young Robert Redford and Saxon's performance. Redford had been doing TV for a year or two. This is a low budget indie and it does look it. The sets are bare and action is limited. It's a dark stripped down tale. It probably needs more night time shoots but it's an indie. The most compelling visual is seeing the enemy silhouetted against the night sky. It's a small movie packing a big punch.
