Jin-Tae and Jin-Seok are brothers who are unwillingly drafted into the South Korean army following the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950. Meanwhile, Jin-Tae's fiance Young-Shin joins the communist party to get food for the rest of her family.
Jin-Tae, the stronger of the two brothers, vows to keep his weaker younger brother Jin-Seok safe from any danger. After a military official promises to send Jin-Seok home if Jin-Tae wins a medal of honor, Jin-Tae begins to fight without fear.
