Storyline

An American army officer, troubled by reports of brutality, volunteers to investigate conditions inside North Korean POW camps. He parachutes behind enemy lines and infiltrates a group of G.I.s being marched to one of these camps. There, he witnesses scenes of G.I.s being brainwashed, beaten, subjected to mock executions, deprived of food and water, and more, under the supervision of a Russian colonel.—dinky-4



Short Review

A decent enough low-budget war camp drama but it's delivery is extremely in your face with the anti-communist sentiment and there's little point to this movie other than a piece of a cold war propaganda. The best line comes in the first scene when Ronald Regan is told he'll be taking a course to learn something about communism as it may prove useful for the future.... how prophetic!
