After “Operation Chromite” directed by John H. Lee, “Battle of Jangsari – Forgotten Heroes” is the second entry in a planned trilogy depicting the events of the Korean War, specifically the coordinated attack of South Korean forces against the army of the North. In “The Battle of Jangsari” directors Kwak Kyung-taek and Kim Tae-hoon tell a semi-fictionalized account of a mission meant as a diversion distracting the North Korean army from the actual attack which took place in Incheon. Besides showing the fate as well as the stories of the young cadets, most of which were students, their movie also aims to shed some light on the role of war correspondents such as the character played by Us-American actress Megan Fox, a role which was inspired by two actual correspondents who reported on the battle and the fate of the young soldiers.

"Those kids don't know they're on a suicide mission, do they?"
We’ve got an intense trailer here for you to watch for an upcoming movie set during the Korean War. It’s called Battle of Jangsari, and it’s based on the true story of a small, inexperienced battalion of student soldiers who are given a mission to liberate the strategic location of Incheon.
This was a critical point in the Korean War and these young men entered battle on the frontlines of Jangsari beach with “little ammunition, low food supplies and second-hand weapons.” The film tells the stories of these forgotten heroes of the Korean War.
The film comes from director Kyung-taek Kwak, and the cast includes Kim Myung-Min, Minho Choi, Sung-Cheol Kim, In-kwon Kim, Si-Yang Kwak, George Eads, and Megan Fox.

Seoul-based sales firm Finecut has picked up international rights to the “The Battle of Jangsari,” a Korean-produced war action film starring Megan Fox and the K-pop star Choi Min-ho and star of Netflix film “Illang: The Wolf Brigade.”
“Jangsari” is directed by renowned Korean filmmaker Kwak Kyung-taek (“Friend”) and Kim Tae-hun, with production by Taewon Entertainment, and presentation by Warner Bros. Pictures Korea. Taewon previously produced 2016 hit “Operation Chromite,” another Korean War movie, which starred Liam Neeson as U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
“Jangsari” depicts the 1950 Jangsa Marine landing operation during the Korean War. It involved 772 student soldiers — whose average age was 17 and had only received two weeks of boot camp training — who were deployed to pave the way for the larger Incheon Landing Operation, which was led by MacArthur and turned the tide of war against communist-backed forces from the North.
Fox depicts Marguerite Higgins, a war correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune.
