War Hunt (1962)

Toward the end of the Korean War, Robert Redford is a wide-eyed addition to a company of infantrymen; John Saxton is a long-time member, prone to going on solo night patrols to gain intel and to kill enemy soldiers. Between them is an orphaned Korean boy, the pull for the boy’s loyalty is the pull on the soldiers’ souls: to let war take them to their darkest selves or to maintain some semblance of innocence. Essentially marking Redford’s film debut, it is also the beginning for Sydney Pollack and Tom Skerritt as other members of the company.
