71: Into the Fire
The day that courage came of age.
Directed by John H. Lee
Produced by Taewon Entertainment, UBU Film
A grim, historically grounded war drama about young, untrained soldiers forced into a desperate last stand, balancing brutal combat with the bonds forged under impossible circumstances.
In August 1950, waiting for UN troops to arrive, the South Korean army assembled to protect Nakdong River. Only 71 student-soldiers are left behind to guard the city of Pohang. Now they are on a mission to defend the country from North Korean troops.
