Pork Chop Hill (1959)

Drama / War

An American unit attempts to take a strategically worthless but politically important ridge during the Korean War. Based on actual events, this war film commemorates the lives of the men who died in an assault that ultimately turned out to be pointless, as the hill was of little strategic value, used simply as a bargaining tool in truce talks.
