Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe aircraft used in the film is a B-50, a modified version of the venerable B-29 Superfortress of World War II fame. B-29s were used in the Korean War early on, but by 1952 had been mostly phased out for the somewhat updated B-50 version.
- GoofsThe large aircraft in the background on the movie poster appear to be multiple Boeing B-52 Stratofortresses, which did not enter active service in the U.S. Air Force until 1955, several years after the movie takes place (1952). Also, the mission is specifically assigned as a single plane mission because of the accuracy required in the bombing of the target.

Featured review
I am not the most politically correct person out there, but sometimes you certainly can understand folks being upset at a film. Take "Hell's Horizon", a movie set in the Korean War. The female lead (Marla English) is supposed to be Korean....but she seems about as Korean as a Taco Bell! She's obviously a Caucasian and they made no attempt to get her to look or sound Asian. The same can be said about some of the other 'Koreans'...folks who, in some cases, have painted kin and black wigs! The result of which is just stupid....as well as offensive...but mostly stupid.
So is the movie worth seeing despite all this foolishness? Not especially. The first portion of the film is particularly hard to get past....as the 'soldiers' seemed about as professional as the Three Stooges and it was hard to believe these were America's finest! Terrible writing is the problem with all this. And, sadly, the stupid dialog simply continues until this dopey film reaches the end. The folks who fought in this war deserved better than this drivel.
