在这部死亡的沉默剧情/战争片中,在朝鲜战争期间，3名美军士兵被命令执行押解的犯人，藏在他们的返回的船上。 但是，最终，他们没有一个敢于迈出第一步，局势变得日益引人注目...
During an evacuation in the waning days of the Korean War, three American soldiers retrieve an enemy airman and take him prisoner aboard the civilian ship returning them to their lines. When an order comes down from their superiors to kill the prisoner, the sergeant in charge, Briscoe, orders his men, Dennison and Hackett, to carry out the execution. But first one and then the other refuse to follow the order. A tense stand-off ensues between the seemingly heartless sergeant and his conscience-stricken men.
