In 1920, as Korea continues to suffer Japanese colonial rule, the Korean Independence Army is tasked with delivering critical funds to the Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai. During the operation, Hae-chul (Yoo Hae-jin) is reunited with Jang-ha (Ryu Jun-yeol), a young squad commander whose mission is to defend Samdunja village. The two unite their forces to route the Japanese at Samdunja, but make themselves tagets in the process. Hae-chul meanwhile suspects that Jang-ha’s mission isn’t over yet, and that the young soldier is pursuing a dangerous ulterior mission.

Based on the actual battle of Bongo-dong in 1920, which remains a great victory of the Korean independence history, director Won Shin-yeon's The Battle: Roar to Victory siezes upon the red-hot genre of historical films in Korean cinema to tell a compelling and thrilling take that is little-known outside of Korea.
