When an elite group of American soldiers are ordered to take out a series of German machine gun nests, they find themselves blindly venturing into hostile territory.

Some people called it "suicide", but for the 2nd Battalion of the U.S. Army Rangers, just that's another word for "mission". When an elite group of American soldiers are ordered to take out a series of German machine gun nests, they find themselves blindly venturing into hostile territory. Outnumbered and outgunned, they must risk life and limb as they cross treacherous terrain, never knowing where the enemy might be hiding.

As tens of thousands of Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy in an attempt to change the course of World War II, Lt. Gen. Omar Bradley (Liddell), Lt. Col. James Rudder (Cage Coppola), 1st/Sgt. Lommell (Kove), and Maj. Cleveland Lytle (Couture) lead the 2nd Battalion behind enemy lines and into a firefight against an enemy that greatly outnumbers them. Scaling a one-hundred-foot cliff, these heroic rangers battle to secure a strategic position and destroy a battery of German cannons.
