军部摄影干事赵蒙生(唐国强 饰)被母亲动用军界的关系外派到连部担任指导员,实际是为转正做准备。赵的到来让连长梁三喜(吕晓禾 饰)推迟了探亲假,滞留连部理顺赵蒙生与战士们的关系。炮排排长靳开来(何伟 饰)心直口快,对赵蒙生这种“军营公子”强烈抵触。连部的气氛一时有些紧张,既因为军队内部的问题,又因为山雨欲来的战争。不久形势突变,连队准备南调参与对越反击,赵母在最后关头试图拉出儿子反被军长公开做了反面教材。赵蒙生无法忍受内心的煎熬,随部出战。靳开来临阵升任副连长,而他用实际行动证明了自己的职责,梁三喜的突击连在战斗中发挥了应有的作用,但他本人却为搭救赵蒙生牺牲。战斗胜利了,撤离前线的战士们很快发现战争对心灵的考验远没有完结……
本片根据同名小说改编,获1985年金鸡奖最佳编剧、男主角、男配角、剪辑奖等多项专业褒奖。。This Film seems to be some kinda sequel to the Hunted City. Comissario Ferro comes from Rome to Milan. The violence is at a all time high. Gangsters dress up with some bizarre Carnival-masks. They use this outfit to liquidate some opponents. Ferro is no friend of such behavior and so he uses his gun the traditional way and lightens their masses a little bit.
Even though the ending is a bit disappointing, the film contains a great fight in a plastic-factory with lots a white plastic bottles. Visually nice! I like the documentary-style of Massis Camera very much. It makes the film so involving and real. His Experience in the Western-Genre as Camera operator in films like "C'e Sartana vendi la pistola..." and "Dio Perdoni la mia Pistola" sure comes in handy. Joan Collins had no trouble with face-surgery at that time.。
