Pork Chop Hill

“Bold! Blunt! Blistering! The battle picture without equal!”

Why would anyone fight for a hill the generals may give away in days? In April 1953, Lt. Joe Clemons (Gregory Peck) is told to retake Pork Chop Hill from a large Chinese force, while at Panmunjom, seventy miles off, a tense cease-fire conference is under way. Lewis Milestone follows King Company up the slope, where every man lost is a man who might have lived if the talks had finished sooner.
