Celluloid Heroes

One of the more unlikely war heroes you are ever likely to meet is Captain John Boyd (Guy Pearce). This is because Captain Boyd is only a war hero because he is a coward. When he went to battle, he was so scared he played dead, and was carried into a pile of bodies. Later, he managed to pull himself out from the pile of bodies and found himself behind enemy lines, which allowed him to capture the enemy fort. Instant war hero.

Alas, the General knows that something is amiss, and he doesn't like it, so he sends the intrepid Captain Boyd to Fort Spencer in California, and because it is the middle of the winter, this fort nestled high in the Sierras isn't likely to see much action at all. It's the perfect place to get rid of him. But that's not likely to happen to someone like Captain Boyd.
