Movie Info

This routine wartime drama of bravery and misunderstanding stars (Richard Bakalyan) as Charlie, a soldier who suffers the scorn of his paratroop unit because he accidentally kills one of their own men. The setting is World War II in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy. There seems to be no clear way to square himself with his own conscience, or to right the fatal mistake he made, and so Charlie has to somehow live with the retribution and the tensions his act causes among the other paratroopers. But

Unrated, 1 hr. 17 min.

If you like a no-nonsense war story of all action, no big-name stars, and one that validates courage ... you got it in this solid low-budget actioner.

Basic shoot'em-up, blow'em-up combat film with interesting characters and non-stop action. Not bad for a motion picture nobody's ever seen with actors nobody's ever heard of.
