The Steel Helmet (1951) (NR)

synopsis

One of the greatest war films ever made, this film still retains considerable power when compared with today’s more explicit offerings. Fuller regular Gene Evans plays a tough-as-nails sergeant who, because of his helmet, is the sole survivor of an ambush during the Korean War. He is helped through the wilderness by an orphan (William Chun as Short Round) and led to a new platoon that faces even greater dangers.
