Plot
Dongmakgol is a village in a remote mountain, isolated from the rest of the world and untouched by the ravages of the ongoing war in Korea. Fate brings the three fighting forces together: a U.S. fighter pilot whose plane crash-landed in the mountain, three retreating North Korean soldiers, and two South Korean soldiers who are lost. After a grenade destroys the food storage, they decide to stay and help the local farmers. In the process they slowly let go of their hatred for one another and build a sense of friendship. Meanwhile, the U.S. commanders believe there is a major North Korean military presence in the area where the plane went missing and plan a major air strike. In order to spare the village from complete destruction, the soldiers decide to work together to divert the attack, possibly sacrificing themselves in the process.

A really good movie. not as good as 71 into the fire or Taeguk gi but its still good. like asian movies or should i say the good ones. u can't stop watching it. Theres really funny comedy slow mo parts. the akwardness between the north and south koreans is extremely funny. but there is still the realism of the war in it. there are some details that just don't seem right and how they all of a sudden got into their ending situation/ how they talk to the white guy and how they downplay .......well they downplay (spoiler) spoler spoiler spoiler spoiler --the death of________ into seeming like it was nothing or not too big when it shouldve been omg. 8 out of 10 then. its a watch :D
