Description:

"The Battle of Jangsari" plunges viewers into a harrowing Korean War operation. Captain Lee Myung Joon leads a unit of 772 young student soldiers, including Choi Sung Pil, aboard the ship Moonsanho. Their critical mission is to reach Jangsari and execute a daring diversion. This perilous operation aims to deceive North Korean forces into believing a decisive invasion will occur there, thereby drawing enemy attention away from the true, larger-scale invasion planned for Incheon the following day. With an average age of just 17 and only two weeks of training, these inexperienced but incredibly brave student soldiers face an impossible challenge. As they attempt to land in Jangsari, they are met with a relentless shower of bullets, fighting for their lives and the success of a strategic operation that could change the tide of the war. This film powerfully depicts their extraordinary sacrifice.
