However, due to sudden wind shears from a storm, their helicopter crashes deep within North Korean territory, outside of allied airspace.

Sergeant Edward Brockman, who was initially surprised by his assignment to this mission, becomes the reluctant leader after the death of his superiors in the crash.

With the helicopter's communications equipment destroyed, Brockman and his team have to navigate through enemy territory to escape back to South Korea, all while protecting a civilian tech specialist.

The film emphasizes the tension between North and South Korea, though it doesn't delve deeply into the geopolitical nuances of the conflict but rather focuses on the survival aspect.

In August 2022, it was revealed that a thriller film titled Valiant One was in development, directed by Steve Barnett and co-written by Eric Tipton, with Chase Stokes cast in the lead role.
