一个有着神秘过去的男人逃离了这个国家，逃脱了自己的个人地狱-只是到达了一个更加糟糕得多的地方。

二次世界大战间的新几内亚，一场苦战沿着科科达小径在澳洲与小日本士兵间展开。
影片的诞生来自深深的渴望去讲述发生在1942年发生科科达小径上已被遗忘的澳洲战役中民兵的故事。创作灵感来自第39营的一个排。故事直观的展现了他们非凡的勇气、同伴间的友谊、难以想象的耐力和自我牺牲的大无畏精神。

In a time of misery and fear two enemies come together to prevent an apocalypse conspired by their leaders. 40 years of war between the Federated Republics and the New Territories Union has taken its toll. The cities are overcrowded, farming land is riddled with unexploded mines -- and still there is no hope of peace. In this hostile, decaying world of the future on thing remains constant for Lieutenant Leo Megaw; his love for his pregnant wife. Her access to classified information makes her an increasing liability for the government. When she's ambushed, Leo is forced into exile. As a border patrolman on the isolated outpost of Zone 39, ordered to kill anyone that tries to cross the border, he comes to understand that ultimate catastrophe forced upon his world by his government. The real enemy is not looming across the border but standing right behind him. Now he must reach across the border into enemy territory and form an alliance to save his world.
