Synopsis: In 1950, in South Korea, shoe-shiner Jin-tae Lee and his 18-year-old old student brother, Jin-seok Lee, form a poor but happy family with their mother, Jin-tae's fiancé Young-shin Kim, and her young sisters. Jin-tae and his mother are tough workers, who sacrifice themselves to send Jin-seok to the university. When North Korea invades the South, the family escapes to a relative's house in the country, but along their journey, Jin-seok is forced to join the army to fight in the front, and Jin-tae enlists too to protect his young brother. The commander promises Jin-tae that if he gets a medal he would release his brother, and Jin-tae becomes the braver soldier in the company. Along the bloody war between brothers, the relationship of Jin-seok with his older brother deteriorates leading to a dramatic and tragic end.

Everything will be fine

I'm still a student

Sit down

My brother got on the wrong train

We're getting off

This is my younger brother

Please let us stay close

He's just a student and

knows nothing about war

I'll teach him

Please

Alright

Here, Nakdong River

is our last line of defense

If this place is taken

the next is Busan, and then...

we've got nowhere to go

but into the sea

If you retreat

I'll kill you myself

This is where we

live or die

Write your wills and

whatever you wanna leave

death and wills?

Okay, let's say hello

- I am GO Yong-man

- I am LEE Jin-tae

Let me ask you something

Are you two related?

- He's my older brother

- You're brothers? Damn!

I thought they were only supposed

to take one per family!

Who's going to carry on

the family name?

Is the country going to?

Those bastards

Forget the will!

Forget it!

You never know when

the next meal will come

Eat this sh*t

Just call me Uncle Yang

He's the eldest

in our platoon

He's a self-proclaimed fortuneteller

but he's never right

Welcome

Don't ever take your helmet off

Many get their heads

blown off while sleeping

I'm Sergeant LEEM

I hate anything red

especially the reds!

I am Tae-soo, I escaped

from North Korea

But don't mistake me as a commie

I'm Seung-chul

I was a student but

I volunteered to fight

Say 'Hello', PFC Jo

Whatever for, We'll all be

dead soon anyway

- I'm PFC Jo

- I am Yong-goo

Just call me radio man

I am KIM Cheol-soo

I go by Ban

They are asking me

to fight, eating this?

No water or soup at all?

And mine's so damn small!

You don't want it?

Give it to me

Eat it

Jin-seok!

Jin-seok, are you okay?

Jin-seok, you okay?

Stay right there

Stay put

Jin-tae

I told you to

stay there!

Jin-seok, Jin-seok!

Hang on, Jin-seok!

Please keep breathing!

Jin-seok, You can do it

Jin-seok, breathe in!

Now breathe out

More, more!

Spit it out!

Now breathe in!

Jin-seok, You can do it

Deeper, deeper, Jin-seok!

You're okay!

Okay, okay

You're fine

Please send my brother

to the hospital

I'll blow up their tanks or

bring you their commanders

I'll even carry a bomb

- into their camp

- There is one with an epileptic

Another has pulmonary tuberculosis

One in 3rd platoon has rheumatism

Another with with heart disease

And one with pulmonary tuberculosis

Need more?

Should I send them all?

Who'll fight then?

Life and death crosses

here every second

If you do

what you've said

and I can even send

your brother home!

I'll do whatever I can do

if I can send him home

That's the spirit we need

You have to give to

your country

before asking for something

Just for your information

it's been done before

There, a father and son

were in the same unit

who could send his son home

Wanna know how?

Wills are for dying people

You've got to be strong

I wish all this

would just be a dream

I want to wake up in my room

I'd tell you about this

over breakfast

I would tell you that

I had a strange dream

Then I would go to school

and you and mom would go to work

Don't worry

We will be just fine

Urgent call from

the battalion bunker, sir!

What is it?

The 2nd and 3rd have

lost their positions

Damn it!

- Wake them up!

- Yes, sir!

Everybody, wake up!

Everybody up! Up!

Area 721 and

area 734 have

fallen into the enemy's hands

Additionally, our supply route

has been cut off

This means

we're isolated

Remove all the rocks

They're shrapnel

waiting to happen

Area 731 and 732 are gone

We're next!

The bastards are gonna

hit us hard, like dogs

There won't be anyone

left to bury us

Let the commies come!

I'll kill everyone I can!

Attention!

Sergeant HUH, KOH Yong-man

LIM Tae-soo, KANG Hyo-Yul

YANG, JANG, LEE Seung-chul

Get armed and come with me

What's going on?

There's an order to plant mines

on the defense line

Sh*t, that's right

under their noses

So what?

I have to go there?

I'm going, too

Yong-man is out

Jin-tae is going, instead

Rest of you get back to

what you were doing

Yes, sir!

- Damn, I always get the sh*t

- Jin-tae!

- Jin-tae!

- Hurry up!

Those commies will

take over anytime

They slaughter the families

of soldiers and cops

That's why we've got to

win this war!

If we lose, the commies

will kill us all!

Win to live

Win how?

Eating mud?

Get back to work!

Aimed fire!

Hide yourselves quick!

- Get down!

- Seung-chul! Don't move!

Be careful of the land mine

Seung-chul!

Yang and I will

go get him!

Cover us!

Seung-chul, hang on
