The Front Line
The battle for a strategic stronghold heats up as the Korean War winds to a bloody close in this war drama from director Jang Hun. Korea is in crisis and as soldiers from both the North and South clash over a coveted hill that would determine the new border between the two nations. The ownership of this small patch of land would swap multiple times each day. Kang is dispatched to the front line in order to investigate a mysterious death, but gets spiralled into the terrifying face of war when he meets his friend Kim, who has transformed into a war machine, along with the rest of his unit. As the countdown for ceasefire begins, both sides become more vicious as the stakes rise until the very last man is left standing to claim the hill.
