(Keir Dullea) is drafted to serve in WWII. Determined to see her
again, he vows to stay alive at all costs including disobeying

Welch Jack Warden is a career soldier who
does what he's told and is prepared for the
insanity of battle. Both men are assigned
to the same dangerous mission: drive the
enemy out of a wall of caves known as
"The Dancing Elephant." As the violence
gows around them, their own personal
war escalates. Soon both are walking The Thin Red Line
between sanity and madness in this powerful war epic.
