Synopsis

As the seasoned infantry and tank units of the German 11th Panzer "Ghost" division move silently into position on the snow covered hills around Nennig Germany, a battle weary GI and his unit stand ready to defend the small town, a key position in the Allied advance to win the war. Outgunned and outnumbered, S/ Sgt. Don Smith (Cole Carson) struggles to find hope and courage against overwhelming odds in one of the decisive confrontations in the "Battle of the Bulge" during WWII.
His squad of GI's of the 94th Infantry Division lay dug in on the ridgeline outside of town. No one in high command believed that German forces would attack in the sub-zero temperatures and near blizzard conditions. As the pre-dawn attack comes, with communications down, Sgt. Smith is left with no choice but to make his way through enemy fire, unarmed and wounded, into town and warn of the coming attack. Based on actual accounts, "Everyman's War" explores the heroic events of this decorated veteran’s courage and the struggle between duty and desire.
Between the prospects of the life and love, Dorine (Lauren Bair), that wait at home and the harsh realities of war which mark the pivotal epoch in his life, he discovers that the loss of hope can be worse than the loss of life. One man's courage...One man's hope...Everyman's War.
