Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe area of California in which this was filmed bears very little resemblance to the area of Korea in which the story allegedly takes place. Likewise, "Han" definitely looks more Hispanic than Korean. (NOT FOR PUBLICATION: I was stationed about six miles South of the DMZ for 14 months. I know whereof I "speak" on both counts. It's hard for be to believe that there was no Asian boy in California who could have played the part.)
- GoofsWhile walking in the hills with his dog, Han comes upon a Gila Monster, a large poisonous lizard. Gila Monsters are found in the arid deserts of the US and Mexico, not in the mountains of South Korea.
Featured review
small war movie
It's 1951 Korea. Three American soldiers have escaped from a North Korean POW camp. They are assisted by a Korean family until the North Korean soldiers massacre them. The surviving young son befriends a dog and they run into the Americans again.
The Americans don't come off that well. That reunion is very cringe-worthy. If this came out a few years later, the cynicism in the American soldiers would be more fitting. Then the movie becomes a simple escape journey. The Americans redeem themselves and it becomes an all-American type. I don't really buy these actors. The characters are one-dimensional. The story isn't that great. The location looks like California which is fine. It's tiny war movie with limited appeal.
