In 1942, World War II has entered a white-hot stage. In the South Pacific, Japan and the United States are engaged in a fierce competition, and the bottom line of humanity is completely destroyed in the sound of gunfire. The "Charlie Infantry Company" of the US Army received a difficult task. They were ordered to land on Guadalcanal and recapture the 210th position occupied by the Japanese army. The Japanese army has the advantage of terrain and the defense is impregnable. However, the military order is like a mountain, and even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, the soldiers of Charlie Infantry Company must move forward bravely. This group of young men threw themselves into this cruel battlefield of flesh and blood for the so-called justice... This film is adapted from the 1962 novel of the same name by American writer James Jones, and won the Golden Bear Award and Honorary Mention at the 1999 Berlin International Film Festival; the Best Cinematography Award of the Chicago Film Critics Association in 1999; the Best Foreign Language Film Award of the Australian Film Critics Association in 2000; and the Best Foreign Language Film Director Award of the Film Junbao in 2000.
