“The Odds Were 5000 to 1 … One was all They Needed.”
Operation Chromite follows a wartime mission built around the Battle of Incheon, where a small squad of soldiers is sent into one of the Korean War’s most decisive moments. The film tracks their effort as they face the pressure of a conflict that can turn on timing, coordination and nerve. Its story keeps the focus on the mission itself and the danger surrounding it. The result is a compact war drama shaped by urgency and military stakes.
Released in 2016, the film was made in the US and South Korea and runs 111 minutes. It is led by Lee Jung-jae, who appears as one of the soldiers carrying out the operation, with Lee Beom-soo and Liam Neeson also in the cast. Their roles place the mission at the center, moving the story between command, field action and the strain of wartime decisions. The film’s scale comes from that mix of local forces and international involvement.
Set during the Korean War, the film draws its tension from a real military campaign and the uncertainty that comes with it. It combines historical detail with the pressure of an action thriller, giving the battle a tense and disciplined tone. The setting keeps the focus on strategy, sacrifice and the narrow margin between failure and success.
