根据史实改编，在卢森堡实地取景，讲述第一次世界大战谢幕阶段，美军与德军对迭的血腥十月。这是联军的最强组合，由一位平民士兵带领下，一群来自爱尔兰、意大利、犹太及波兰等地共500个年轻勇敢的士兵肩负起攻打德国的艰辛任务。在烈火遍野的战地上，敌众我寡的情况下，他们只有两条出路：投降或战死。他们却选取了第三个抉择，因而成为举世赞颂的人民英雄。In 1918 in World War I, in the Meuse-Argonne Sector in France, the former New York lawyer and Major Charles White Whittlesey is assigned by Gen. Robert Alexander to a massive suicidal attack against the German forces in the Argonne Forest with his five-hundred-man battalion. However, the forces supposed to be giving support through the flanks retreat and the communications with the headquarter of the 77th American Division are cut. Major Wittlesey holds his position with his men, mostly Irish, Polish, Italian and Jewish immigrants from New York, surrounded by the German army. Without food, water, ammunition and medical supplies, only two hundred men survive after five days of siege.
