71: Into the Fire

15 yrs 120 minutes • 2010 • 7.3

During the beginning of the Korean War, the North Korean troops, supported by China, ruthlessly advance on their South Korean neighbors. On the strategically important river Nakdong is a girls' school which on 11 August 1950 ends up in the center of the advancing army. South Korea's main force is in another location and it is up to a small ill-prepared group of young soldiers to hold the line against the overpowering enemy. 71: Into the Fire is based on real events and has been hailed as a strong and de-romanticized depiction of the brutality of war.
