Surviving Against All Odds That Changed History | Battle of Chosin

In November 1950, 8,000 U.S. Marines were surrounded by 120,000 Chinese troops in the frozen mountains of North Korea. Temperatures dropped to 28 below zero. Morphine froze solid. The enemy planned total annihilation. This is the story of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir—the deadliest fighting withdrawal in Marine Corps history. For two weeks, outnumbered 15-to-1, the Marines fought through 78 miles of enemy territory in subzero cold. Fox Company held a frozen ridge for five days against impossible odds. Navy pilot Jesse Brown crashed behind enemy lines, and his wingman Thomas Hudner deliberately crash-landed to try to save him. Engineers built a bridge in a blizzard under enemy fire. A wounded captain commanded from a stretcher, refusing evacuation. 35,000 Chinese soldiers died in the mountains. The Marines brought out their wounded, their dead, and their equipment. They didn't retreat—they attacked in a different direction. Witness the cinematic retelling of one of history's most brutal battles, told with historical accuracy and respect for those who fought.
