Kang Je-gyu (Brotherhood) directs this WW2 tale of the rivalry between two men that leads them on a journey to serve in the Japanese, Russian and German armies. Initially friends, Jun-shik (Dong-gun Jang), a Korean, and Tatsuo (Jô Odagiri), who is Japanese, develop a fierce rivalry as potential marathon runners in Korea during the Japanese occupation, and are drafted into the imperial army to fight in Mongolia when war with Russia breaks out. Through a series of events, they in turn find themselves fighting in the Russian, and German armies, eventually ending up on the beaches of Normandy as the allies advance. Throughout their time together, their bitter rivalry eventually gives way to a grudging respect, as they both remain driven by their one remaining goal - to win an Olympic marathon.
Two rival marathon runners find their dreams of competing in the Tokyo Olympics fading after World War II breaks out and they are forced to serve their country. Jun-shik works on a farm owned by Tatsuo's grandfather. An aspiring Olympian, Jun-shik dreams of the day he will win the gold as a marathon runner. But Tatsuo also wants to be an Olympic runner, and he's determined to be the best. When the bombs start to fall and both men are drafted into service, Tatsuo becomes the leader of Jun-shik's unit and hatches an ambitious plan to get the upper hand over their enemies. Unfortunately his plot fails, and both men are taken prisoner by the Soviets. Subsequently escaping but torn apart by fate, Tatsuo and Jun-shik later cross paths on the beaches of Normandy, just as the Allies prepare to execute Operation Overlord.
