Taegukgi - Brotherhood
Seoul 1950. Jin Eok (Won Bin) and his older brother Jin Tae (Jang Dong Keon) run through the streets of their hometown, without a care in the world. They have everything they need. Clothes on their backs, food on the table and a loving family. The brothers live with their mother, their much younger siblings and Jin Taes soon-to-be-wife Young Shin (Lee Eun Ju). This tranquil existence is shattered when war breaks out. North korea has invaded and the family is forced to abandon thier home, as it is on the verge of the border. While the family is making its way to safer grounds, soldiers arrive and take Jin Seok into custody. All men capable of carrying arms must report for duty wheter they like it or not. Jin Tae try to free his brother, but he gets captured, too and both of the brothers suddenly find themselves on an army train, heading straight to war.

After a long siege the men are startng to get crazy. There's no water, no food and they are slowly dying. As at last resort Jin Tae suggests that they attack instead of just defending.
