Pork Chop Hill (1959) is a war film directed by Lewis Milestone, featuring Gregory Peck and Woody Strode, and introduced many actors who became movie stars in the 1960s and the 1970s, (e.g. George Peppard, Harry Guardino, Rip Torn, Robert Blake, Norman Fell, Martin Landau and Gavin MacLeod). It is based upon the eponymous book by military historian S. L. A. Marshall. The book recounts the bitterly fierce first Battle of Pork Chop Hill between soldiers of the U.S. Army's 7th Infantry Division, and Chinese Communist Forces in the tail end of the Korean War, in April of 1953.
American GI's must retake a barren hill in Korea that has been overrun by Red Chinese troops. The ensuing battle becomes a meat grinder for American and Chinese alike. This story of a an actual battle is all grit. Written by KC Hunt
