In 1943, Hitler orders the final destruction of the Yugoslav Partisans. The Partisans and thousands of refugees begin a trek northward to the Bosnian Mountains; their goal is to cross the treacherous Neretva gorge over the one remaining bridge in order to get to safety.
Their trip is fraught with danger every step of the way and they have to face German tanks, Italian infantry, Chetnik Cavalry, strafing airplanes, disease and natural elements. Only if they survive this can they can in peace.
