Take the High Ground!

From its rowdy, ribald horse-play, to its rousing marching song... from its hard-boiled hates and slugging feuds to its tough-but tender love story... this is a drama of our times... exciting, exalting, young, brave and alive!

Sgt. Thorne Ryan, a decorated veteran of the Korean War, now serves as a tough drill instructor at Fort Bliss, Texas. His fellow instructor and friend tries to help him face the ghosts of his wartime experiences. One night in a bar across the border in Juarez, Mexico, Ryan meets a woman who starts to turn his life around, raising the question of whether he can finally deal with his past or will remain as hard on his troops as ever.
