Based on true events, this film offers a dramatized retelling of the Battle of the Ardennes in December 1944. Amidst the chaos, we follow the journey of Lt. Col. Dan Riley, an intelligence officer, as he tirelessly attempts to warn of an impending German attack. Despite his efforts, he struggles to convince others of the looming danger.
As the anticipated attack finally unfolds, Riley's instincts prove correct when he predicts that the scarcity of fuel will direct the German tanks towards a significant Allied fuel depot. Along the way, the story introduces a diverse cast of characters, including a young and inexperienced Lieutenant facing his first battle, a battle-hardened American tank commander whose black market operation raises concerns, and a group of German soldiers masquerading as American MPs.
Navigating the complexities of war and the fog of uncertainty, this narrative showcases the determination and challenges faced by individuals on both sides of the conflict during this pivotal moment in history.
