Synopsis October 5, 1918. The Germans gave them two options. Surrender. Or die. They choseia third. It began on October 2nd, 1918, when the men of the U.S. Army's 77th Division, 308th Battalion were surrounded by German troops in the Argonne Forest. Without food, water or reserve ammunition, cut off from supply and communication lines, and subjected to constant assaults and bombardments, they managed to hold off the enemy until they were finally rescued after five days of desperate action. This A&E Original Movie brings their harrowing ordeal to life. Directed by Russell Mulcahy (Ricochet, Highlander), The Lost Battalion stars Rick Schroeder (NYPD Blue, Crimson Tide) as Major Charles Whittlesey, the civilian-turned soldier who won the Congressional Medal of Honor for keeping his outnumbered troops alive and fighting in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Customer Review The "Private Ryan" of WWI - 3.25 out of 5  (12/14/2004) Great effects, awesome realism, and fair treatment of both sides in this bloody exchange.   more >> Customer Review Unimpressed - 2 out of 5  (3/16/2002) I ordered this title with high expectation of a great war story. I thought the characters were poorly developed and one dimiensional. The thing that irked me the most is the central character Major Whittlesey walks around with Lt colonel rank insignia throughout the entire movie. If A&E and the History Channel cant get those kind of details right then who knows how many other aspects of this true story they have screwed up. To make matters worse the audio is an undistinguished 2 channel ster   more >> Customer Review The Hamburger Hill of World War One - 3.25 out of 5  (3/13/2002) Gory bloody action combined with good True story and great rich characters.   more >>
