Mann thought he could invest every asset of his personal beliefs into this film. Raw psychology of fighting men, dynamism of landscape and a conflict between two different moral standards. Beyond any doubt MEN IN WAR is those things. The film is the most simple war tale which I have ever seen. Yet, it is sometimes more powerful and obseving than ATTACK! or PATHS OF GLORY. We don't see any domineering generals, flash back family memory of the soldiers, smart tactics, or phony patriotism. A platoon was cut off from bigger outfit in unknown Korean land, and the platoon must make effort to rejoin with the big stuff for its survival. Consequently, the film offers us an almost endless march of exhausted soldiers. Of course we will see some actions including shooting, bambing, exploding, and attacking along the way, but they are treated with quite restrained manner, so that the entire texture of the film remains strangely calm and even beautifully meditative. I would say that is quite unique and innovatively original for a war film, and I believe that is why MEN IN WAR proves itself as a cinematic art. By encountering this silent yet dreadful atmosphere, we are able to sense meaninglessness of war, and stupidity of mankind. Furthermore, the film itself does not make any ovbious judgement, and this uplifts the film to an almost philosophical poem. Lt.Benson, a leader of the platoon, played by Robert Ryan, is a steady officer who tries to do everything to save his men, however he mercilessly confiscates a jeep from an unwell colonel and his subordinate. Sgt. Montana, the opponent of Benson, played by Aldo Ray, is a deserted soldier with rude attitude, but he sincerely respects his unwell colonel. These two deliver excellent performances and they have succeeded to project the film's depth and sophisticated ambiguity. MEN IN WAR persuades us to make our own reasoning of mankind. So, I must admit the film is an existential masterpiece from its director and it proved Anthony Mann was a great cinematic philosopher. Review: Reminds me a little of Sam Fuller - Sam Fuller often made simple, low budget war films that were ahead of their time. This Anthony Mann movie set during the Korean war was of that ilk. There are some 1950's platitudes. But most of the time, the film feels genuine. It's at it's best in the simplest moments with sparse dialogue. A good entry in the foot soldier sub-genre of war films. Robert Ryan is well cast in the film. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000B7QCUE | | Actors | Aldo Ray, Nehemiah Persoff, Phillip Pine, Robert Keith, Robert Ryan | | Best Sellers Rank | #82,512 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #1,227 in Military & War (Movies & TV) #7,899 in Action & Adventure DVDs #13,051 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (149) | | Director | Anthony Mann | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, DVD | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 7.5 x 5.5 x 0.5 inches; 3.2 ounces | | Run time | 1 hour and 42 minutes | | Studio | Geneon [Pioneer] | ## Product Details - **Format:** Color, DVD - **Genre:** Military & War - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 42 minutes ## Images ![Men in War - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51dOxbrPS+L.jpg) ![Men in War - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814wRbweYqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Art of war film. *by K***I on February 13, 2010* MEN IN WAR is reportedly director Anthony Mann's personal favorite.

This Anthony Mann movie set during the Korean war was of that ilk. There are some 1950's platitudes. But most of the time, the film feels genuine.

Robert Ryan is well cast in the film. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ men in war *by D***S on May 17, 2009* a cult fim classic for those who have watched this a million times! this is a dark psychological story of war and conflict between the soldiers in combat. the characters are derived from classic archetypes, and are portrayed by an outstanding cast. I think what really makes this a unique and excellent movie that stands the test of time, aside from solid performances from robert ryan and aldo ray, is the character development of the supporting cast. everyone in this film builds into the intracacies and mental trauma of war. If you can see beyond some minor technical flaws of this low end budget production, any of you psych major types will be highly rewarded. this is a brutal movie that can start to rub off on you, especially if you watch it a few times.men in war is on my top 10 list of b movie greats! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/3258424-men-in-war](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/3258424-men-in-war) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
