In the final moments of the 1954 Battle of Dien Bien Phu, a weakened French garrison awaits a last assault by communist Viet Minh troops. Lt. Col.

The survivors of the French are captured and imprisoned, with the survivors being held together in their captivity. Upon his own return from Indochina, Lt. Raspeguy starts a relationship with Countess Nathalie de Claire
