Tank Battalion (AKA Korean Attack) is a 1958 war film directed by Sherman A. Rose, starring Don Kelly, Leslie Parrish and Edward G. Robinson Jr. Four men in their tank, during the Korean War in 1951, find themselves behind enemy lines.American International Pictures originally released the film as a double feature with Hell Squad.
During the Korean War, four soldiers reminisce about their past romantic adventures. One of them is currently involved with an Army nurse, another with a Eurasian bargirl. When the tank crew takes their girlfriends on a picnic, they make contact with North Korean guerillas who later try to steal medical supplies from their base.
Resuming battle with the North Koreans, their tank breaks down against a cliff. One of the men risks life and limb to sneak out and retrieve a new gear box. It is a dangerous, exciting journey, but will he succeed?
Richard La Salle's first film score uses pieces of Debussy's Three Nocturnes For Orchestra.
