Best movie ever!

Absolutely Brilliant!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Target Zero is your typical war film, this one set in Korea and it gave some due to one other nation present on the peninsula. Richard Conte leading an American squad finds themselves a 3 man British tank crew headed by Richard Stapley. That tank prove to be essential though there is one rather unreal scene where the tank should have been blown up.Shapley doesn't like Americans he saw his sister ravaged by one during the last war. You know that British saying about the Yanks, "overpaid, oversexed, and over here". Words he lives by.And there is a woman in the mix. Peggie Castle and Angela Loo UN health workers also stuck behind the lines. Loo is killed and Castle gets both Conte and Shapley's mojo going.They're trying to reach the rest of Conte's company. What happens when they do is one nasty climatic battle.One scene I thought rather stupid. The group uses the protection of the tank to clear a path through a mine field. I have to think in real life the tank would have been crippled and useless trying it. Could not buy that at all.The film is rich in character players though. Charles Bronson is Conte's sergeant and he's got such people as L.Q. Jones, Strother Martin and Chuck Connors among the troops.An average war film, nothing special.

Well, My father was in this picture though he is an un-credited extra. He was one of several soldiers that died on a hill, Can not even tell which one he is Not too bad of a movie for when it was made, a bit silly at times especially the romantic parts...Yeah romance in a war movie...A bit Cheesy

****SPOILERS**** Stuck behind enemy lines Korean War movie with Richard Conte as the happy go lucky without a care in the world Let. Tom Flagler winning the war almost all by himself. It's Let. Flagler who loses his innocence in the war swirling all around him when the love of his life US Army infantry unit Easy Company gets wiped out by a human wave assault of North Korean troops. Up until then noting bothered Let. Flagler thinking the separated from the main battalion Easy Company was safe and out of harms way. It's then that Let.Flagler becomes suicidal and lets his and his men down by getting so depressed that that they can't relay on him with a major North Korean assault on his position is just about to materializer!Up until then Let. Flagler could do nothing wrong in being focus on his mission to get his men together with a British tank crew back across enemy lines. So focused that her didn't even realize that US Army nurse Ann Galloway, Peggie Castle,was just crazy about him and his macho-like attitude towards war as well as everything else. It's the in house armature psychiatrist of his unit Sgt. Vince Gaspari played by a young, age 34, and clean shaven, it's hard to recognize him without his famous mustache, Charles Bronson who gives us in the audience as well as Peggie an insight to Let. Flagler's mine-set. His only love is his company and no one or nothing else and when it was wiped out by the North Koreans he just flipped out!****SPOILERS**** With the North Koreans now ready to charge up the hill and annihilate Let. Flagler and his men as well as nurse Galloway he finally comes to his senses as well as survival instincts and uses, by land line telephone, the entire US Army Air Force and Navy to do them in. It strange to see hundreds if not thousands of North Korean soldiers just march like lemmings to their death as a deadly combination of US jet fighters as well as massive US navel bombardment chops them to pieces! Even the few North Koreans that make it to Lt. Flagler's forward positions are just blasted by the few US as well as British defenders as if they were harmless bowling pins! As for the North Korean soldiers all they had to fight with against the ultra modern US and British military were what looked like turn of the century bolt action rifles that in most case didn't seem to work!

Korea, 1952, a UN patrol and a woman are trapped behind red Chinese lines.Unfortunately, this war film comes close to being truly dreary with about every cliché in the book. Had director Jones registered some troubled emotion from a generally talented cast, it would have helped. Instead, Conte and company act as if being trapped in combat is little more than a walk in the park. And what could be more absurd than those wooden romantic scenes in the middle of life and death.Then too, the script registers some genuinely leaden dialog, along with limp action staging that has all the combat intensity of a round of hide and seek. Good thing for our side that the Chinese bunch up across open terrain so that a couple of bullets can mow 'em all down.I get no satisfaction from belaboring these results since I recall when the movie was shot south of Colorado Springs and we high school boys were thrilled at seeing a movie star like the lovely Castle. (Look quickly and you can see Cheyenne Mountain where air tracking defenses for North America are now located underground.)Still, the movie does have one stunning sequence where a squadron of Lockheed jets swoops really low over uneven terrain to drop their napalm. It's a breath-taking air show. Nonetheless, I expect the movie's most memorable feature are the up-and-comers in the supporting cast—Bronson, Connors, and future TV mogul Aaron Spelling. All in all, however, it's an unfortunately forgettable 90-minutes of people managing to go through the motions.
