The true World War I story of an American unit that was surrounded by German troops and pounded mercilessly for days (at times even by its own artillery) is vividly portrayed in this made-for-television film starring Rick Schroder. Playing a patrician New York City lawyer commissioned a major and sent into combat, Schroder commands a battalion composed of New York wiseacres as well as so-called "apple knockers" from the West. The plot is straightforward (and will be familiar to those who know World War I history), but the film rises above what could have been a clichéd telling of the story of Major Whittlesey and his heroic men. The action sequences, shot tightly with hand-held cameras, owe a debt to Saving Private Ryan, and the surreal horror of World War I, in which armies killed with machine guns yet communicated by carrier pigeon, is conveyed very well. --Robert J. McNamara

For the world war one history buff, this movie is for you! It is a fascinating drama of that horrific conflict. What makes this movie so riveting is it is taken from a real incident and the Medal of Honor was awarded to the battalion commander. A must see movie.

Excellant World War I drama, based on a true story. Well-done production showing how hard the conditions were and how stupid the Generals are.

I brought this movie for my partner who has been searching for it in New Zealand stores for a long time. He thoroughly enjoyed it and was very impressed with the fact that it is a true story. I also watched it and thought it had a very good story line. Although i must say that i wouldnt have known it was Rick Schroder if it didnt have his name on the cover. I very different role for him which he played very well.

This movie should be on every high school students list of movies to watch. It gives an accurate account of trench warfare and it's an awesome movie. I have now watched this movie at least 10 times and I'm sure that I'll watch it again. The acting is fantastic, Rick Schroder should have won an Academy Award for his part in this movie. He makes you feel his pain as he watches his men die. When a women puts a war movie at the top of her movie favorites,that's great acting!
