Movie Info

Drill Sgt. Jim Moore (Jack Webb) is known as one of the toughest in the military, and it's his job to turn boys into Marines. One of the recruits -- Pvt. Owens (Don Dubbins) -- proves problematic, and his incessant complaining and repeated mistakes lead Moore's superior, Capt. Anderson (Lin McCarthy), to issue an ultimatum. Moore has three days to make a Marine out of Owens, or the recruit will be discharged. Moore makes it his mission to help the man fulfill his potential.
