A Hill in Korea is a 1956 British war film by director Julian Amyes, based on the 1953 literary novel of the same name by Max Catto. During their retreat in the Korean War in 1951, a small group of British soldiers finds themselves in danger as the men are cut off from the rest of the British army and their allies. Left to their own devices, they are chased by a large group of Chinese soldiers and are surrounded in a temple on a hill.


The following weapons were used in the film A Hill in Korea:
