Le film se déroule en 1838, en plein coeur du conflit entre les habitants français du Bas-Canada et les occupants anglais. À l'automne de la même année, François-Xavier Bouchard et plusieurs de ses compatriotes sont capturés. Jugés par un tribunal militaire, 12 patriotes sont pendus devant la porte de la prison, sous les yeux horrifiés de leurs compagnons. Pendant plusieurs mois, des dizaines d'autres patriotes, eux aussi condamnés à mort, attendent dans l'angoisse une exécution qui ne viendra jamais. Le film est inspiré des journaux authentiques de ceux qui vécurent ces évenements.

The film is a drama set in World War II, following a group of United States Marines from boot camp to combat (6th Marines, 2d Marine Division). It depicts the forming of comradeships and the relentless training which the battalion, led by Major "High Pockets" Huxley, has to undergo. In two battles (Guadalcanal and Tarawa), the battalion is used only for mop-up duties, but after an out-of-line argument between "High Pockets" and the commanding general, they are used as lead battalion in the battle for Saipan, suffering heavy casualties as they land on the exposed left flank of Red Beach. Huxley is killed and as they watch his body being carried off the field his grim-faced men fix bayonets ready to meet a Japanese counter-attack.

En février 1976, à Djibouti (alors partie du Territoire français des Afars et des Issas), des terroristes indépendantistes prennent en otage un bus assurant la tournée de ramassage scolaire d'enfants de militaires français. Le bus s’enlise ensuite à une centaine de mètres de la frontière avec la Somalie, à Loyada. Les autorités françaises envoient alors sur place une unité de tireurs d'élite de la Gendarmerie nationale française. Cette équipe va devoir mener une opération à haut risque afin de libérer les enfants otages. D'après la bande annonce, cette opération marquerait par ailleurs les débuts du Groupe d'intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale (GIGN), créé en 1973 et réorganisé « au printemps 1976 ».
