This film was inspired by true events

Tokyo Harbor

A powerful hurricane has emerged off the Philippine coast

and is projected to move north.

Its name is Jane.

Jane...

That's a lovely name.

Sir, we are ready to begin the Diversion Operation.

Planning to launch in Yeongduk, Jangsadong,

Gunsan and Samcheok on September 12th and 14th.

Sir, if I may...

Yes?

This operation could entail many casualties.

Should we proceed?

(June 25, 1950) (With the Soviet Union's support, North Korea invades the South)

June 27, 1950 USA President Truman deploys the U.S. Army and assigns General Douglas MacArthur as the Commander-in-chief of the UN Command

However, the rest of South Korea, north of the Nakdong River, falls in a month

In order to turn the tide of war, General MacArthur orders a covert operation involving 8 men

BATTLE FOR INCHEON: OPERATION CHROMITE

A week earlier

Comrade, got a light?

They Fought For Their Country.

If you read those books too much, you will lose touch with reality.

But our vision of the rest of the world comes to us through the books.

In the end, the hero is shot down and while he is dying,

he contemplates the sky.

In fact...

Sholokhov made the sky blue

a beautiful metaphor.

But it is a lie.

Cut the chitchat and get to your point.

What I mean is...

when a man is dying in pain,

would he admire the beautiful sky?

Am I wrong?

Comrade Park Nam-Cheol.

You will not see Incheon.

Chief of the defence area of Incheon, Lieutenant Ryu Jang-choon.

I'm Park Nam-Cheol.

The commander is waiting for you.

Our convoy is ready.

(PROTECT OUR LAND WITH OUR BLOOD) Incheon has been liberated

by Democratic People's Republic of Korea!

Hooray for the liberation of Incheon!

Citizens of Incheon,

Your land has been liberated!

Let us march forward together toward the liberation of the country!

Peace is now assured!

Unacceptable! Intolerable! Insulting... Get back to work!

(War Room, UN Command HQ, Tokyo)

Tell the French to send more troops. Pester them until they do.

If they refuse, I will call President Auriol myself.

And what of the Australians?

Are they sending their aircraft carriers or are they not? Find out at once.

And I won't accept anything but "yes."

Yes Sir.

Sir,

we just received intel on the fortification efforts of Wolmido island.

The commander in charge is named Lim Gye-jin.

and the construction is under his control, not Pyongyang.

Park Nam-cheol to the report.

Lim Gye-jin.

What news from the front of the Nakdong?

It is a blood bath.

Of course.

Here is the report of our troop placement.

226th Infantry Regiment is in Incheon.

918th Artillery Regiment, second battalion is stationed there.

2,048 infantry, 231 in Artillery Regiment

and 487 in 42nd Armored Vehicle Regiment.

Considering Incheon's geography, the enemy can only access land routes

from Gimpo, Siheung and Hwaseong.

Aviation units and artillery units are stationed at each location.

Incheon's harbor is fortified by six meter-high seawalls,

making it impossible to climb over.

What is the best defense if the American bastards attack by sea?

There is only one narrow channel into the bay they could access.

One disabled landing boat could completely block the entrance.

Once it's blocked off, we'll use a 76 mm artillery gun barrage to wipe them out.

That is all.

Comrade Lieutenant...

76 mm artillery guns would be useless.

If the landing boats get to shore, it's all over. They must be stopped at sea.

Also...

...why no mention of naval mines?

Are they not set?

We...

lined the waterway with them.

You marked them clearly on a map then?

Bring it to me.

I...

...will be personally reporting that

to the Supreme Commander himself.

When will you begin the on-site inspections?

Tomorrow at 7 a.m. sharp.

Comrade Park...

don't be so hasty.

Good work, men. Rest easy.

You've earned it.

Just pass out on the bed.

Incheon became like this in just two months

Young Master

allow me to do that for you.

I've got hands, too.

And I told you not to call me that.

The summer is nearing its end.

In my village, it must be a wonderful time.

Confirm their transmission

and send this, too.

Yes, Captain.

Report 1: enemy regiment locations in Incheon.

Report 2: defensive positions on the coast.

KLO of Incheon (South Korean Liaison Office) Covert Intelligence Unit

This is Seo Jin-Chul from KLO Incheon.

Sir, we've made contact with the KLO.

Tell them to locate the mines.

Finding the exact location is top priority.

Do whatever it takes. Yes, Sir!

This is a direct order from General MacArthur.

- Is that Palmido Lighthouse? - That is correct.

(PARADISE)

Here is captain Park Nam-cheol, sent by general headquarters.

They're Incheon Hospital staff.

Be careful of him.

This gentleman is here to monitor us.

Isn't that right?

Comrade Park...

When I studied at the Communist University of Moscow,

Professor Malchikov was my idol.

Mine, as well.

When he...

executed his beautiful sister Sonja with his pistol,

all of the Korean students cheered.

Do you know why?

Sonja believed in Christianity...

so she got three bullets to the head.

Comrade Han, what do you think?

If your uncle believed in Christianity,

what would you do?

Dissuade him.

And if it's impossible to dissuade him, then what?

But, this is my uncle...

She means, he raised her

since she was a baby.

Just say you would kill him.

But how can a religious man

follow our party's ideology?

Religion must be eradicated.

What would you do, Comrade Park?

Each must make his choice.

Comrade Park...

Do you believe in God?

Do you see God?

Where is He?

The party has already said there is no God.

Isn't that right?

What is your unit password?

what is it?

I can't shout it from the rooftops. I could be shot for being reckless with it.

Comrade Lim...

Red Dostoevsky

Red Dostoevsky

This is Jung Sun-Sil.

(Head Secretary's Office - Democratic People's Republic of Korea HQ, Pyeongyang) It has been a while, Defense Commander.

What can I do for you?

Do you know Park Nam-cheol was sent by the headquarters?

Yes, of course.

Do you know him well?

Comrade Park has a knife scar on the left side of his neck.

All done.

You don't need a trim today.

Very good.

As you say.

Take it, it's a gift.

But Sir, why me?

I don't deserve this.

Please give it to Comrade Han.

I'm kidding! Put it on!

Of course!

Long life to the supreme commander, Kim Il-sung!

We're at wits' end.

They won't cough it up, and we don't know where it is.

Can't they use a minesweeper at the start of the invasion?

That's nonsense!

The coverage area is too wide for something like that.

Emergency inspection!

Everyone freeze!

(Yankee Nemesis MacArthur)

(Puppet Syngman Rhee)

Defense Commander...

This document was submitted to me.

The number of naval mines doesn't match up.

I need to inspect them personally.

Give me the map.

Comrade Park...

you're awfully interested in those mines.

What's with the fixation?

My objective here is to make sure everything is in order, is it not?

I told you before...

I'm reporting that directly to Pyeongyang.

Do you still want to see it?

Defense Commander...

have you made a mistake?

Why can't I ever get a clear answer on naval mines?

My apologies.

As you know,

the spies

can be anywhere.

Begin sending out false intel regarding landing operations in...

Wonsan,

Jumunjin

and Gunsan.

Make sure the transmissions are wiretapped.

Send out massive amounts!

Yes, Sir.

Yes

Efforts to gather intel on the mines were unsuccessful.

They need more time.

Without detecting the mines, our fleet cannot navigate through the narrow waterways at Incheon.

Orders, Sir?

Orders?

Get God on the phone. Tell Him it's me. Tell Him we need more time.

(September 2nd, Wonsan bombing scheduled.)

(October 14th, landing in Jumunjin.)

(September 19th, assemble 120 ships in Gunsan.)

(September 12th, landing in Yeongdeok, Jangsa-dong.)

(Central Relay Center - DPRK HQ, Pyeongyang) Lieutenant...

(Main Transmission Center - North Korean HQ, Pyongyang) September 6, the UN forces are assembling in Kobe port.

They're calling for all-out attack at the Nakdong River frontline.

Where are they targeting?

(Win over Lim Gye-Jin.) (Earn his trust and gather necessary intel)

Captain.

We're to recruit Lim.

LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA

Where do you think MacArthur will attack?

I'm certain it's Incheon.

I have to convince the idiots in Pyeongyang...

but I have no proof.

I know you worked at the National Intelligence Bureau.

You didn't hear anything?

Any words you heard from the Soviets or China?

Headquarters believes that it won't be Incheon.

I believe MacArthur will...

land in Incheon.

Do you know what those Americans estimate as their chances of victory at Incheon?

Five thousand to one.

It's virtually impossible.

So why should MacArthur attack Incheon with such chances of victory?

To be remembered as a hero?

That old decrepit wants Incheon to be his Normandy?

(UN Command HQ, Tokyo) August 23, 1950, final strategy meeting

Well, well, well...

The Pentagon must be on milk break,

dispensing The Three Stooges

to silence the old mad dog.

The Three Stooges, huh?

Who's Moe?

Well, I'm Larry.

Well, I'm sure as hell not gonna be Curly.

C'mon gentlemen!

Then, I'm Moe!

Big smile!

(Democratic People's Republic of Korea HQ, Pyeongyang)

(North Korean Headquarters, Pyongyang) So Comrades Where do you think the united Nations will attack?

Wonsan, Jumunjin, Gunsan

and Incheon are diversions.

I believe it's very likely that they will invade Gimpo

by sending thousands of paratroopers.

They could defy convention and attack Pyeongyang directly.

Comrades

(Supreme Commander Kim Il-Sung)

Why is no one talking about Incheon?

Incheon tides are the worst in the world!

They rise and fall at an average rate of 29 feet each day.

Sometimes as high as 36!

Our ships will be stranded within ten minutes of entry!

And the harbor?

Harbor's too narrow to be able to turn around.

That is why we developed three separate routes.

Red

Green

and Blue!

Even if we get through, there is only one landing zone in Incheon.

There! (Incheon Harbor)

Landing is not the only problem. The mudflats will swallow our tanks.

How do you expect our marines to climb treacherous cliffs that high

with waves that harsh?

There is a simple solution.

We use ladders.

Ladders...

More importantly,

how do you expect to move 75,000 troops at dusk

with only one hour of daylight remaining?

There is a lighthouse on the Palmido shore.

We will seize it, and there will be light.

Well, I don't know about you, gentlemen, but

this gives me great confidence.

I'm going back to Washington and break the good news.

"President Truman,

General MacArthur says we've got nothing to worry about.

because we have ladders and a lighthouse."

We're not going to Busan.

Instead, we're gonna send 75,000 troops to Incheon.

Why?

Because we have ladders and a lighthouse.

I think I'm gonna drink to that.

To a successful campaign!

Vandenberg, do you want to win this war?

I think I should be asking the same question of you, General.

What do you think?

There are men dying in Busan,

and you're proposing a suicide mission!

Fortifying Busan is suicide!

Don't hit them where they are strong, hit them where they are not!

Cut off their supply line!

Force 'em to starve!

Is MacArthur stupid?

All of our forces are at the Nakdong frontlines.

Why'd he try to fight us there?

Are they all morons?

Out of the frying pan and into the fire?

Hey, hey, hey!

Even the U.S. Secretary of Defense has said the odds of a

successful invasion of Incheon are five thousand to one.

Five thousand to one.

Five thousand to one! That's the odds that you get on this one!

This is the riskiest military operation that I've ever encountered!

But that's it!

Know your enemy and yourself, you can win all wars!

Supreme Commander...

do you know what MacArthur wants?

I fight wars to win!

Operation Chromite is the only way to victory!

Operation Chromite?

It's a cute name.

You intentionally delay reporting to us...

your plans.

You wait until we get here all the way from Washington,

and then you not only insult us...

but the President of the United States.

And then,

you have one plan with no recourse!

One plan!

Why?

Why the fixation on Incheon?

What MacArthur wants...

is to be the president.

That's why he needs a miracle of five thousand to one.

This is exactly why he'll invade Incheon!

What are you after?

What do you want out of this?

Two days after the war broke out in Korea,

I made a secret trip there from Tokyo to assess the damage.

(South Korean Defense Frontline June 28, 1950) I came across a young Korean boy alone in the trench.

No older than sixteen

He had no gun, no shirt.

All others had retreated.

I was perplexed.

"Why are you here?" I asked him.

He replied

"No one ordered me to leave."

I was moved by his courage.

I said, "I will give you anything you want."

He looked at me with fire in his eyes and said,

Give me a gun and give me bullets.

"Give me a gun and give me bullets."

That boy and I shared something.

We were soldiers.

Two soldiers with the same goal...

Victory!

I knew then I had to save this boy's country.

We've got until September 10, 2100 hours to secure the map.

It's not in the armory nor the archives,

not even the naval war room.

Their offices are the only places left to check.

(FOR THE VICTORY OF THE PEOPLE)

Welcome.

When does the ship depart from Songhaksa?

Have you brought an umbrella?

Jang Hak-Soo, Captain with the Navy Intelligence Bureau

Korean Liaison Office Incheon, I am Choi Suk-Joong.

Come sit down.

How can I help you?

We're going to steal the map of the mines.

It will have to be handed over to the Americans. Please prepare a transport for us.

When will you arrive?

Tomorrow at midnight.

Understood.

After you hand over the map, You can hide in the abandoned schoolhouse on Youngheung Island.

A unit led by Captain Seo Jin-Chul will be waiting there for you.

Be careful. Lim Gye-Jin is a relentless man.

Come in.

You don't sleep?

May I...

go visit my children for a moment?

My wife sells vegetables at the market not far from here.

Once this mission is over, the war will end.

Please hold on a little longer.

Of course.

Have a good night.

(MARCH FORWARD TO ULTIMATE VICTORY) (IN THE WAR OF UNIFICATION)

We must infiltrate during the day.

Kang Bong-Po...

track guards during all shifts, and their relief time.

Nam, distract the guards.

And Cho will sneak into Lim's office through the window.

Song and Yang, get us more weapons.

Oh and Chun, secure the vehicles and the route.

I'll keep Lim and Ryu occupied in the meantime.

Synchronize your watches.

It's currently 1638 hours.

Upon securing the map,

get out quickly

and quietly.

Do it again.

Is this a joke?

Your salute is all wrong!

Get your eyeline right!

Make an effort!

Where are you going?

Stand together.

Salute again.

You clap and salute, clap and salute!

Stay focused! Clap and salute!

Again! Salute! Clap! Salute and clap!

Don't salute, clap!

Turn to the left when I say "comrades", understood?

but if you turn right, you're a traitor.

Come on, comrades.

Snap out of it! Do it right!

Still: Comrades.

We're leftists. Once more.

Comrade!

Snap out of it! You stupid shit!

Here.

I have many things to report, so I'll head back, Sir.

Okay.

Comrade Ryu...

It is still early. Why not stay a little longer?

Have a great time.

Salute as it should be!

Comrade Ryu... What brings you here?

All of you...

To your posts!

Yes, Sir!

I was able to get a good bottle of vodka.

Comrade Ryu...

You listen to me?

How about 50% alcohol vodka?

What is there not to warm up the language.

This vodka...

here it is.

Open it!

Incheon Sea Naval Mine Placement

Guards! Guards!

Two Southern spies!

Capture them! Bastards!

Shoot! Lift the sofa!

Get the map! Go!

In-Gook!

Get them! Go capture them!

In-Gook!

Go!

When we achieve unification,

you should come to Incheon.

Very well.

What is it?

You must get out of there!

They're all imposters! South Korean spies!

Park Nam-Cheol...

I have a question for you.

You're part of the Soviet faction, right?

There is a well-known story of Soviet comrades.

It was ordered to a soldier

to shoot his father, who was a bourgeois.

But he couldn't.

So his friend fired the gun instead,

and he went nuts and shot his comrades,

then defected to the South.

I know the faces of all Soviet faction members,

but not the one of this soldier.

What was the name of this traitor?

Jang Hak-Soo.

Right, Jang Hak-Soo!

Jang Hak-Soo!

Tell me, Jang Hak-Soo, why are you here?

Answer me,

Jang Hak-Soo!

Young Master...

Hold.

Get out of here! Go away!

Get out of here!

Pan-dong! Yang Pan-dong!

Die!

The traitors are inside! Get inside!

Hurry! Get inside!

The commander is in danger! Go save him!

Captain, captain!

Hop in! Go on!

Captain!

Protect the commander!

Hurry up!

Sang-Deuk!

Captain!

Go! Go! Just go!

Sang-deuk!

No!

Band of incompetents!

They walked in and robbed you blind!

Who was on guard?

I-I was, Sir!

Who else is a spy?

Did you help them infiltrate?

Commander!

These two brothers had Yankee weapons!

Are you the older brother?

Brother! Brother!

Do not kill me! I'm going to talk!

Watch as he trembles.

Untie him!

What is your name?

Lee Young-Cheol, Sir.

Tell me who handed you...These weapons

the guns.

Go on, tell me.

A man, he had big eyes...

and was wearing a watch.

I swear! A Kim Il-Sung watch!

The rendezvous point is at the school, right?

The mission has failed. Maybe it was too risky.

That is what happens to you? You skipped the dinner?

You're not even in a state to hold a weapon.

Pull yourselves together.

They're members of KLO Incheon.

They handle the DPRK food supply, so they have unlimited access.

Let's go to Dongmundang first.

Youth is not a period of life, it is a state of mind.

Ah, General Vanderberg.

General MacArthur.

Good to see you!

Please, sit. Tea? Coffee?

You've put us in an impossible situation, General.

Truman is seriously considering your plan.

But he wants to make one thing perfectly clear.

We don't want the Chinese to join the fight.

Once we reach this line...

...the war has to end.

This war will not end by a politician

simply drawing some line on a map. I won't agree to that.

It's a direct order from your Commander-in-chief.

Why are you being so stubborn, General?

And why is Truman so ignorant?

He wants a limited war? That doesn't do any good.

Communism cannot be contained with a limited war.

These politicians...

They don't know what war really is.

God, it's immoral to send our soldiers to war

unless total victory is sought!

I'm curious, General...

What's behind Operation Chromite?

What do you really want out of this?

Is Incheon supposed to be your Normandy?

Huh?

Some grand theatrics...

before your second run at the presidency?

You think I want to go to Incheon to become president?

I have dedicated 50 years of my life to the battlefield.

I'm Douglas MacArthur. I win wars.

Don't try and educate me or analyze my motives.

Why did you volunteer for this operation?

Well...

I wanted to protect my mother!

I wanted to protect my mother," Sir.

What are your plans for after the war?

I'd like to get a good night's sleep.

I would like that, too.

I will land on Incheon no matter what.

Open the way for me, Son.

I'll wait for you in Incheon, Sir.

This way. Hurry.

Uncle...

Chae-Sun...

What's going...

Wait, shush!

What's going on there?

My uncle!

Chae-sun!

Jang Hak-Soo is a spy! You have been lied to!

Please listen to me!

No, you listen!

What are you doing?

Shhh! Shhh!

Rope! Rope!

What's going on?

What's happening?

Let go of me!

Uncle!

Let go of me!

Freedom fighters hid here during the Japanese imperialism.

Chae-Sun's parents built this place.

This is a secret tunnel.

It's connected to the vacant house next door.

Use it in case of emergency.

Uncle, you're a traitor, too?

You can observe outside from here.

You're a traitor? Their snitch?

I beg you, remain quiet until the rising of the sun.

Are you crazy? We'll all be hanged!

Stay here until sunrise.

Please get me in touch with the captain of KLO Incheon.

Will do.

Who's there?

Choi Suk-joong.

Are you...

looking for this?

I was...

a communist once, too.

There is a phrase that I really loved.

"If the roots are rotting, how could they bear fruit?"

It's a good phrase to get students hooked.

But one day...

...my comrades captured a bourgeois

They gave me a gun

and told me to shoot.

But it was my father.

I hesitated. I was too shocked to react.

Then my best friend killed my father.

My hesitation has cost the life of my father.

My friend looked at me, filled with conviction...

and he said, "Ideology is thicker than blood."

You are being lied to.

What your uncle is doing-

Lights out!

Search every inch.

Let's go!

It's empty, Sir.

Where is Jang Hak-Soo?

I don't know who that is.

Dirty traitor.

Wake the whole neighborhood!

Walk faster!

Tie him up!

I beg you, save him.

He did it to protect you!

They are going to kill him!

I AM A YANKEE PUPPET I DESERVE FULL PUNISHMENT

Please untie me!

If I speak to the commander, he will listen to me.

Captain, she's going to betray us!

We'll all be killed!

I won't tell them about you. LONG LIVE THE INDEPENDENCE OF KOREA

I swear! You must believe me!

We can't just watch him die!

Open the tunnel!

Captain! Captain!

Uncle! Please!

Lim Gye-Jin...

do you actually believe in your rotten ideology?

Do you really want everyone to be equal?

How can you kill those who have different ideas?

This is your last chance.

Where is Jang Hak-Soo?

Go on, shoot me.

Shoot me!

No!

My Uncle! No!

Let go of me!

My uncle!

Come here, you!

My uncle!

Where are they?

Where are these rats?

Speak!

- You traitor! - That's enough.

Enough.

This is Kim Hwa-Gyun, the driver!

Good, you're all safe.

Who's Captain Jang Hak-Soo?

I am.

We received Choi's message.

We are here to help you.

I'm Seo Jin-Chul, Captain of KLO Incheon.

The landing of Incheon has been given the green light.

It will begin in 3 days.

Without the plan of the mines.

Since the naval mine map is gone.

you will have to find another way to locate them.

Easy for you to say!

Can't you see we're being slaughtered?

Stop it!

You're not the only ones at risk!

We're all in the same boat.

How dare you?

There are only five of us left!

Stop it!

Enough!

Even the last man standing must finish this!

Ryu Jang-Choon is in charge of the mines, he'll know everything.

We must kidnap Ryu.

Do you have a plan?

He's hospitalized here.

Once we take him, we'll exit through the basement.

So have a car standing by at the backdoor.

so lure them from this area. it will be necessary to create a diversion.

Lastly, this section must be blocked off. It is crucial.

I will...

block them off.

Me too.

All right.

If we're not at the rendezvous by 0850 hours,

assume that we've been exposed and proceed without us.

Any questions?

Who'll take point from his room to the X-RAY room?

Who will?

I have someone in mind.

LET'S KICK AMERICA OUT OF THE KOREAN BORDERS

Stop the truck!

Are you Mrs. Nam?

Darling...

Give him.

He's handsome.

Allow me.

Don't you worry.

I'll come back alive.

Move out!

It's okay.

I can do it myself.

Well, this did work once in Wonsan,

but thats not a guarantee.

What do you mean?

What are you doing?

Your heart might explode.

Hey! Hey!

Why would my heart explode? Why?

Mines aren't the only thing in your way!

Mines are nothing!

What's that? What's that sound?

There is another thing to Wolmido!

Untie me and I'll tell you everything!

Our infantry stands at 75,000 on four aircraft carriers,

representing 16 countries,

including the U.S., England, France and Australia.

260 battleships are ready to deploy

from Tokyo, Kobe, Sasebo and Busan.

On D-Day, one regiment from the ROK Marine Corps will deploy from Busan and join us there.

We've also recruited Korean students from the U.S. and Japan as interpreters.

Good.

Deliver this message to the X-RAY operatives.

"Valiant men of X-RAY,

make contact with KLO and light the Palmido Lighthouse

on September 15th, 0000 hours.

Guide our fleet to the beach.

Lastly,

may the grace of God be with you."

Roger that. We'll be waiting for further orders.

We got a report from the U.S. Navy.

"Ryu arrived safely,

and gave us the naval mine locations.

Here's our next mission.

We'll depart for Palmido at 2200 hours.

The island is swarming with soldiers.

The confrontation will be merciless.

So we just need to light the lighthouse?

Yes.

Is it a problem?

How many enemy soldiers do you anticipate there?

Two squads, roughly 20 men.

I think that Ryu spoke of the bunker of Wolmido.

I'd like to check it out.

Look! Over there!

Captain! Hurry!

Citizens of Incheon!

DON'T HESITATE FOR YOUR ONE AND ONLY COUNTRY

Gather around!

The traitors will be judged!

WE WILL REWRITE KOREAN HISTORY THROUGH BLOOD SHOOT THE PUPPET SOLDIERS ONCE AND FOR ALL

400 km off southern tip of Jeju Island September 13, 1950 (D-2)

Sir, Hurricane Kezia is currently passing 400 km off the southern tip of Jeju Island.

If she continues on this course,

tomorrow night will be treacherous.

We will not turn back!

A long time ago I promised myself

that I would live as though I expected to live forever.

Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years.

People grow old only by deserting their ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin.

However, when you give up your ideals,

it will wrinkle the soul.

This will not be my last campaign.

Incheon Shore September 14, 1950 (D-1)

Incheon Sea 2252 hours, September 14, 1950

Prepare to fire.

Prepare to fire.

Prepare to fire.

Prepare to fire.

Prepare to fire.

Prepare to fire.

Copy that, Sir.

All clear.

Fire!

Wolmido Island

Must you go to Wolmido?

When we know it's safe, we'll fire a flare.

Please let General MacArthur know.

I understand. Take care of yourself.

I volunteered. Nurses are always in need.

Can't you come with us?

I'll be back soon.

Take my word. Cigarettes taste even better after making love.

Listen, when the war is over, come to my house for dinner. My wife is going to make stir-fried noodles.

And we shall have lots of beer.

Last radio transmission, Sir.

Captain Jang is moving toward Wolmido Island.

He said he will light the flare once the beach landing site has been secured.

Palmido Island 2341 hours, September 14, 1950

Halt!

We have Command clearance!

Palmido Lighthouse 2357 hours, September 14, 1950

2358 hours, September 14, 1950

Foe is upstairs!

The Yankee artillery attack will cease soon.

In the meantime, we do not move.

Sir, look! In the harbor!

And God said: "Let there be light!"

The road to Incheon is open!

Cease-fire.

Ceasefire!

Ceasefire!

Ceasefire!

Ceasefire!

Deploy advance unit!

Deploy advance unit!

Ceasefire, all units. Ceasefire.

Narrow Channel, Incheon Sea 0040 hours, September 15, 1950

Just. Dispatch.

I'll turn Incheon Beach into a yankee bloodbath!.

Come at me!

Commander!

We'll begin, Sir!

Follow me!

Now is the time!

We'll show these Yanks what we're made of!

Yes, Sir!

To battle stations!

To battle stations!

Move!

Stop! Stop!

Stopping!

Captain,

TNT! It's TNT!

Does General MacArthur know about this?

No, this was never reported.

The UN forces could be completely wiped out!

What should we do?

Try to set them off earlier?

We have no choice.

Okay!

Bong-Po!

Get us to the beach!

Right! On our way.

Two vessels and one advance boat have been destroyed!

Sir, we may have missed an artillery turret.

Should we try to turn around?

It's still low tide! We can't do that!

The advance unit is already heading toward the landing zone!

Should we keep providing cover-fire, Sir?

Increase speed as fast as possible.

Yes, Sir!

Increasing speed!

Bong-po!

Did you see the artillery muzzle flash?

Yes!

Head for it!

Toward the turret!

Captain...

Brother!

Captain!

Captain

Captain!

Slow it down.

Go Slow! Slow it down!

Go slow, slow!

I'm slowing it down.

On the double! Plant faster!

Take the left, left!

Stop!

Move them faster!

MacArthur must be in the flagship.

Destroy the flagship!

3.5 to the left! 2.3 in height!

Load cannon!

Loading cannon!

Jang Hak-Soo...

Reverse! Reverse!

Finish all the work!

Follow me!

Get rid of them!

Sir, that might have been Captain Jang and his men.

What should we do?

Stand by.

The water is receding, Sir.

For our troops to make a successful landing,

the entire fleet needs enough time

to pass through the narrow waterway.

Sir, if we wait another hour,

our chances of landing will drop significantly.

We should take-

I said stand by, goddamnit.

Wait for the signal.

Fire!

Retreat!

Bong-Po, let's move!

Bong-Po!

Bong-Po!

Wake up! Come on! Bong-Po!

Go, Bong-po!

We have to get out of here! On your feet!

Hurry...

You rest.

Just tell me Captain Jang fired that flare gun.

I believe so, Sir.

Initiate Operation Chromite!

Hey, Jang Hak-Soo!

Come on out!

What is it that you blame communism?

It is the promise of a better life for all!

Fucking cockroach

You're just a puppet in the hands of the Yankees!

Whatever happens,

the red flag will still march forward!

Jang Hak-Soo.

I sentence you to death

for tainting the people with your betrayal!

Let's put an end to this.

Jang Hak-Soo KILLED ME

THE U.S. IMPERIALISTIC PUPPET Jang Hak-Soo! TAKE ALL OF THE U.S. IMPERIALISTIC PUPPETS!

Mother...

I went to see you yesterday,

but I left without saying goodbye.

I was afraid of not being able to leave.

Mother...

My last mission ends in our country.

Dying before their parents is unworthy of a child.

I wanted to be by your side.

I'm sorry.

I'll watch over you from above.

You had said...

that you would come back!

Honey, look carefully for Dad.

Watch out for him.

Yes, Mom!

Don't be so disappointed if you don't see Captain Jang today.

Don't worry.

Whether he's close or far,

dead or alive,

my son will always be at my side.

Hak-soo! Hak-soo!

I was born in Masan, but I grew up in Incheon.

I am healthy with great eyesight, so I shoot really well.

And I am a great cook.

There is someone I want to protect.

I'd like to do something that is meaningful.

I want to use my talents to liberate my country.

This war has killed my whole family.

I come from a family of freedom fighters.

We should all be fighting for our own country.

I heard we get a ton of rice. I have to many kids to feed.

I reproduced like a rabbit.

All right,

Shall we take a photo?

To the 15 men who died during Mission X-RAY,

including Lieutenant Lim Byung-Re, Sergeant Hong Si-Wook and members of KLO,

and those who sacrificed their lives for Korea's freedom and peace,

we dedicate this film to them and their families.

13 days after the successful landing operation of Incheon,

on September 15, 1950, the UN Allied Forces reclaimed Seoul.

They went on to take Pyeongyang, but the Chinese army drove them back.

On July 27, 1953, an armistice was reached,

drawing the war to an end after 3 years with over 3 million casualties.
