Battle of Jangsari

During the Korean War, a crucial diversionary operation is launched at Jangsari Beach. A ragtag group of student soldiers, most of whom have never seen combat, are tasked with this dangerous mission. Their objective is to distract North Korean forces and ensure the success of the Inchon Landing, facing overwhelming odds and heavy casualties.
