Toward the end of the Korean War, young Pvt. Roy Loomis (Robert Redford) joins the soldiers at the front line. In Loomis' new infantry company, he encounters Pvt. Raymond Endore (John Saxon), a man with an intense desire to kill. Endore undertakes lone nightly reconnaissance missions, where he's made a habit of cutting suspected enemies' throats. The company's leader (Charles Aidman) does little to stop this behavior -- and when the armistice is announced, Endore has no intention of leaving.

bob c So bad it’s good to watch. Hard to believe it was in top ten for any year, even 1962. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Audience Member This ****ing bullcrap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review delysid d a great companion film to pork chop hill Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/22 Full Review Audience Member ok war pic marks the debut of robert redford Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm surprised this movie managed to get made, given the psychological-tolls-of-war plot which can easily be interpreted as anti-war... Though I guess Endore can be seen as just a 'bad egg' but I think the close up shots and the monologues make him sympathetic. Beautifully shot (or is that just young Robert Redford? *rimshot*), great close ups. Interesting little film that holds up pretty damn well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting film to see Robert Redford in his first movie and a young Tom Skerritt gritty film about war in Korea rather dated though Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
