The Battle of Horgan Forest

This film produced by HBO is another realistic war film by John Irvin, the director of "Hamburg Heights". It is set in the bloody Battle of Horgan Forest in World War II. After the entire platoon was annihilated by the enemy, the only surviving private, David Manning (played by Long Ed, "Comet Collision", "Four Brothers"), was promoted to sergeant. Unable to withstand the pressure of leading new recruits, Manning applied for retirement on the grounds of mental unfitness. However, Manning's commander (Martin Donovan) ("between her and him and them"), but made a condition to him that as long as he led troops to capture a German outpost, he would submit Manning's retirement application. But in a cruel and ruthless war, the important thing is not victory, but how to survive on the battlefield. When it comes to epic movies about World War II, "Saving Private Rain" and "Red Alert" may have grabbed the spotlight, but this movie is definitely one that cannot be missed and is by no means inferior to the best realistic war movies.
