71: Into the Fire	comment	71: Into the Fire is a 2010 Korean War film starring Cha Seung-won, Kwon Sang-woo, Choi Seunghyun (T.O.P), and Kim Seung-woo, as members of 71 Korean student soldiers being drafted into war against their will.Made in commemoration of the heroes who fought during the Korean War, the film is very loosely based on the student-soldiers of South Korea, who gave up their lives during the Battle of P'ohang-dong (August 11, 1950). Against a platoon of North Korean forces, specifically the feared 766th Unit, the 71 underage soldiers defended the P'ohang girls' middle school, a strategic point for safeguarding the struggling Nakdong River perimeter for 11 hours before being finally overwhelmed, but their sacrifices bought enough time for the South Korean and American reinforcements to ambush and take out the North Koreans, ultimately winning the battle.Much of the film is told from the perspective of Oh Jang-beom (Choi Seung-hyun), a student who have personally witnessed the horrors of war having been through the front lines and is made de-facto leader of the student infantry due to his experiences, and Ku Kap-Joo (Kwong San-woo), a rough delinquent and former gangster who's feared among the students prior to the war.See also Taegukgi and The Front Line for similar films.

71: Into the Fire / int_cd809603	comment	Tank Goodness: The North Korean army assaulting the school comes equipped with several tanks. The students manage to destroy a few before The Cavalry arrives to deal with them, mostly by flinging grenades into the tank's opened hatches.

71: Into the Fire / int_e0ecc959	comment	Changed My Mind, Kid: In the climax, just as the school is about to be overwhelmed by the 766th unit, Kap-Joo and Chang-Woo - which was earlier assumed to have defected to the enemy's side - suddenly comes to the rescue on a hijacked North Korean truck, Chang-wu being the driver, and Kap-Joo manning a heavy machine-gun behind the truck and quickly thinning down the North Korean army by the dozens.

71: Into the Fire / int_e6291d05	comment	Percussive Maintenance: When their mortar encounters a misfire, they are instructed by their ROK superiors over radio to kick(!) it in order to fix the problem. Unfortunately, their improvised tripod gives way, misaligning the mortar tube and the shell launches straight upwards landing into the school's front gate nearly killing or injuring the students stationed there.

71: Into the Fire / int_e7c671f3	comment	Mildly Military: Justified. While they are officially part of the ROK with military appointments and ranks, they are still teenagers with next to no proper training and generally behave as well as you'd expect from junior high school kids.

The South Korean and American forces arriving to wipe out what remains of the North Koreans. Unfortunately they are a case of The Cavalry Arrives Late, for by that time both Kap-Joo and Jang-Beom have both succumbed to their injuries defending the motherland.
