The partisans manage to flee from the ensued firefight, but one of them is wounded, setting them on the path of difficult choices as they try to survive.

A band of Soviet soldiers fight against a small army of Nazis with the help of a specter-like, sharp-shooting killing machine known as The Red Ghost.

Fated to last only three days in the trenches, a young platoon commander faces almost certain death when he leads his troops on a hopeless mission.
