On September 15, 1950, 1st Lt. Baldomero Lopez, is photographed leading his men of 3rd Platoon, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, over the seawall on the northern side of Red Beach, as the second assault wave lands at Incheon, Korea.

Lt. Lopez would be killed in action within a few minutes after this photo was taken. He threw himself on top of a hand grenade to shield his men from the blast. He would posthumously receive the Medal of Honor for his selfless act of heroism.

It was one of the biggest box office bombs of all time, and considered by many to be one of the worst films ever, but is the 1981 Korean War epic, starring Sir Laurence Olivier, as bad as they say?

INCHON (1981). Laurence Olivier, Richard Roundtree, Jacqueline Bisset, Ben Gazzara, and Toshirô Mifune star in a Korean War drama.
