While making the way to safer grounds soldiers arrive and take Jin-seok into custody. All men capable of carrying arms must report for duty; Jin-tae tries to free his brother but he too is captured and both siblings suddenly find themselves on an army train heading straight to the war's front line. With Southern forces failing to hold the Communist North's advance Jin-tae organises a tight-knit group of conscripts and orchestrates a daring isolated attack. Earning the respect of the men and his superiors with each increasingly suicidal mission Jin-tae is promised to be awarded the Medal Of Honour that will enable him to demand Jin-seok be sent home...
