This film essentially begins with a Marine Corps Reserve officer by the name of "Captain Paul Hansen" (Richard Carlson) being informed that he has been called into active service due to an outbreak of hostilities in Korea. Naturally, being a family man, he doesn't particularly want to go to war but, since he has no choice, he follows orders and reports for duty. Upon doing that, however, he is shocked when his superior officer "Lieutenant Colonel Steve L. Corbett" (Frank Lovejoy) informs him that, rather than being assigned in an electronic specialty, he is given an infantry company to command instead. Although being somewhat out of his element, Captain Hansen does his best to adapt to his new situation even though Lieutenant Colonel Corbett is sometimes critical of his progress. Be that as it may, after extensive training in the United States, the Marine Corp division is shipped out to Korea just in time to conduct an amphibious landing near the port of Inchon. From that point on, Captain Hansen and his men learn firsthand the horrors of war against an enemy that shows little mercy and takes no prisoners. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this turned out to be a decent war movie which managed to show the raw emotions American soldiers felt having to engage in combat on the other side of the world. Admittedly, there were some parts that were a little corny and I would have preferred a more complete ending but, all things considered, I liked this movie and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
