Rick Schroder stars in this First World War drama that's based on a shameful real-life incident that occurred during the final days of the conflict. In 1918, some 550 American soldiers from the 77th Division were ordered to capture a mill at Charlvaux in the Argonne Forest region of north-east France. Trapped behind enemy lines and bombarded by artillery fire from both sides, the battalion was soon being written off by superior officers who were sitting comfortably away from the front line. Shooting on location in Luxembourg, director Russell Mulcahy pulls no punches in depicting the nightmarish situation, and he's well served by Schroder and a cast of otherwise unknowns.

Fact-based war drama about an American battalion of over 500 men which gets trapped behind enemy lines in the Argonne Forest in October 1918 France during the closing weeks of World War I.
