Based on a true story, this film is set during the Korean War in 1950. A group of 71 student soldiers, all still in high school, are left to defend a middle school in Pohang against the advancing North Korean army. Led by a reluctant teenager, Kang Seok-dae, the ill-equipped and inexperienced boys must hold their position against a battalion of elite enemy troops. Their desperate stand becomes a brutal trial by fire, transforming the students from boys into soldiers in a matter of days.
