A British detachment fights through the Burmese jungle, faces moral dilemmas during interrogation, and makes a final sacrificial stand against overwhelming Japanese forces.
Set during the Burma Campaign of World War 2, this is the story of courage and endurance of the soldiers struggling at close quarters against the enemy. The film examines the moral dilemmas ordinary men face during war, when the definitions of acceptable military action and insupportable brutality become blurred and distorted.
