We are in Korea in the fifties, at the height of the communist tension. Some servicemen are captured and taken prisoner by the communists. While the might of the armed forces high command dithers about what to do, a small group of teenagers goes in and rescues them.
It's hardly believable for grown-ups, so I suppose it's a wish-fulfilment film for teenagers. In the interest of involving everyone there is a girl (confusingly, for Europeans, called Adrian) in the otherwise male group, and a smaller child (who gets unwittingly taken along) ... but, oddly, no black child. And if it had been made after about 2000, there would have had to be a token obese kid too.
To avoid arousing suspicion when leaving the families' quarters at the base at the beginning of their rescue bid, one of them dresses as an adult woman to get past the checkpoint.
