The Hook

During the Korean War, a group of American soldiers aboard a ship capture the enemy pilot of a plane they have shot down. They are ordered by South Korean headquarters to execute the prisoner, but none of the soldiers are able to will themselves to go through with the command. Just as Sgt. Briscoe is about to report his failure to carry out the order, word arrives that an armistice has been signed. The prisoner, uncomprehending, escapes and is found by Briscoe attempting to ignite gasoline to blow up the ship. Just before Briscoe kills the prisoner with a wrench, the man utters a single word that Briscoe later learns to mean "I can't."
