Ben Marco (Denzel Washington), who has won many honors and medals, was a captain of the Marine Corps. During the first Gulf War, his squad was ambushed while performing a search mission at night. With the wit and courage of his comrade-in-arms Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber), the entire squad was finally saved. Ben, who lost consciousness, also survived thanks to Raymond. Ten years later, Ben talked about this past on countless occasions and praised Raymond's courage. Due to his outstanding performance during the war, Raymond's career was bright. With the help of his mother Irina (Meryl Streep) in the Senate, he has now become a candidate for vice president. However, at this moment, Ben felt anxious, and kept questioning everything that happened that year in his heart. It seemed that there was another unknown version of the attack that night... This film is based on the 1962 classic film of the same name by John Frankenheimer.
