Men in War is a 1957 American war film directed by Anthony Mann and starring Robert Ryan and Aldo Ray. The film is set during the Korean War and follows a platoon of US soldiers who are isolated in enemy-held territory after a retreat.
Lieutenant Benson, played by Robert Ryan, is a seasoned veteran who leads the platoon and is determined to get his men to safety. Sergeant Montana, played by Aldo Ray, is a new arrival who seems more concerned with caring for his catatonic colonel than with the safety of the platoon.
The two men clash from the outset, with Benson angry at Montana's perceived lack of concern for the safety of the platoon and Montana frustrated by Benson's cold discipline. Despite their differences, the two men must work together to guide the remaining soldiers to Hill 465, where they hope to find the rest of the division.
As they trek through enemy territory, Benson and Montana encounter a series of obstacles and dangers, including land mines, snipers, and ambushes. Along the way, they encounter a Korean family who reluctantly takes them in and provides them with shelter.
The film is a tense and emotional examination of the toll that war takes on individual soldiers and the bonds that form between them in the face of danger. Robert Ryan and Aldo Ray both deliver powerful performances as the two officers who must set aside their differences to survive.
