The story

In Korea, U.S. Army Sergeant Zack survives a massacre of American prisoners of war by the Korean People's Army after his M1 helmet saves him from a bullet intended for his head. Left bound and injured as the sole survivor of his surrendered unit, Zack struggles to climb a steep hill and freezes at the approach of a Buddhist boy with a gun who frees him and treats his wounds with sulfa powder.
