Director Sam Fuller (THE BIG RED ONE) turns his touch to this 1951 film about the Korean War. Set in Korea's frozen mountains, FIXED BAYONETS follows a small group of soldiers as they protect 15,000 troops from attack. Though everyone considers the man in charge a hero, he is far less than he appears and this will have deadly consequences. Screen icon James Dean makes an early appearance in this action-driven drama.

Loosely based on the novel by John Brophy, Fixed Bayonets! tells the story of a rag-tag regiment of veterans left behind to fight a rearguard action for a retreating platoon during the Korean war. Amongst the motley crew of men is Corporal Denno (Richard Baseheart, La Strada): wetter behind the ears than most and unable to bring himself to shoot an enemy soldier. However as one by one of his colleagues fall, he must step up and take responsibility for those who are left.
