PlotDuring the early stages of the Korean War, a small group of 71 undertrained and under-equipped South Korean student soldiers is assigned to defend an important strategic post, a girls' middle school, against the advancing North Korean forces. Their commander, Park Moo-rang, leads the students bravely, despite their lack of experience and the overwhelming odds against them. Among these students is Oh Jang-beom, a student with a traumatic past, who is reluctantly thrust into a leadership role when their previous commander falls. As they prepare for the imminent attack, the young soldiers must quickly learn to put aside their fears and rely on each other for survival.
Amid the chaos, the students form a strong camaraderie, united by their shared goal to protect their country. The North Korean troops, led by the fierce and determined Captain Kang, advance ruthlessly towards their position. Facing superior firepower and seasoned soldiers, the 71 students display remarkable courage and resilience. The intense battle that ensues serves not only as a testament to their bravery but also highlights the human cost of war.
