This film is nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival. This is a true portrayal of World War II. The valiant sergeant major and four strong soldiers fought in a hail of bullets. They are not afraid of difficulties and move forward bravely. At the beginning of World War II, in 1938, an American rifle company, led by an unknown sergeant, fought a life-and-death battle with the German Nazis and their allies in North Africa, Sicily, France, Germany and the Czech Republic. Everywhere they went, they not only eliminated the local fascists, but also gave great help to the local civilians. At the same time, the victories of these battles laid a solid foundation for the final victory of the allies. In particular, the successful landing of the allies in Normandy in 1944 became an important turning point in World War II. After years of fighting north and south, this unit has experienced numerous tests of war and is worthy of its own "Iron Medal."
