    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This was the only real war movie which James Stewart starred in. He had vowed never to make one, since he complained they were hardly ever realistic. Harry Morgan said he believed that Stewart made an exception for this film because it was definitely anti-war.
    • Goofs
      When Baldwin and his unit arrive at the ammunition dump they're supposed to blow up, it consists of several small buildings and shacks. But the interior shots showing mountains of ammunition have no resemblance to the buildings they're supposed to be in: two of them are clearly gigantic tunnels ten or twenty times as long as the buildings that are supposedly being inspected.
    • Quotes
      • Major Baldwin: Colonel, I'm gonna blow up this road. Now, how can we keep the people off?

      • Major Baldwin: Well, I-I, I need them stopped for about ten minutes. Can you do it?
      • Col. Kwan: How?
      • Major Baldwin: Well, uh, how 'bout, uh, how 'bout if we get a couple of empty gasoline drums, put 'em on either side of the road, stretch a rope across.
      • Col. Kwan: They'd go under the rope.
      • Major Baldwin: Well, then we get some Chinese soldiers to explain to them, explain to them that we're cutting the road. How 'bout that?
