The film, set at the time of World War II, revolves around Army Captain Beau Carter (Stephen Boyd) who, although he is not racist, holds no particular affection for African-Americans. As fate would have it, Carter is assigned an all-black unit of soldiers and must share his directive with an African-American lieutenant, causing racial tensions to flare. But the men must learn to work together and look beyond their outward differences if they hope to destroy the enemy - and not each other. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
