The Young and The Brave

The Young and The Brave also known by the working title Attong is a feature film released in 1963 by MetroGoldwynMayer which depicts the quality of bravery of a group of prisoners of war that escaped North Korean capture, their youthful companion, and his dog during their journey to the American lines.

During the Korean War, three American prisoners of war Sgt Ed Brent Rory Calhoun, Staff Sgt Peter Kane William Bendix, and Pvt Kirk Wilson Robert Ivers escape from their North Korean captors and try to make it back to American lines, aboutmiles away. At the beginning of their trek, they are given shelter by a Korean couple, who have a young son Han Manuel Padilla. While Han is hiding in nearby hills, the North Korean captors who are pursuing the three escapees kill the couple. The three Americans elude the North Korean pursuers and encounter Han with his companion dog Lobo Flame, German Shepherd, an abandoned K9 corps police dog.While eating some of their few Krations, which the three shared with Han and the dog, the three Americans discuss whether they should bring Han and the dog with them on their trek to the American lines. Brent, is in favor of bringing them along and, as ranking officer, orders the other two to do so. Kane, opposes bringing the boy and the dog because of the drain they posed on their few rations. Kane appeals to Wilson to outvote Brent, based on the assertion that after being held captive rank no longer mattered. Wilson, showing no conviction either way, sides with Kane. However, they eventually agree with Brent and the five proceed on the trek. ........
