- During an evacuation in the waning days of the Korean War, three American soldiers retrieve an enemy airman and take him prisoner aboard the civilian ship returning them to their lines. When an order comes down from their superiors to kill the prisoner, the sergeant in charge, Briscoe (Kirk Douglas), orders his men, Dennison (Robert Walker Jr.) and Hackett (Nick Adams), to carry out the execution.
