Battleground (1949) unfolds in December 1944, as the Nazis launch a desperate counteroffensive in the Ardennes Forest, marking their final significant push of World War II. This pivotal moment, known as the Battle of the Bulge, sees the US Army's 101st Airborne Division encircled in the Belgian town of Bastogne. The squad's ordeal is compounded by persistent cloud cover, which hampers Allied air support and supply drops. The narrative zeroes in on a single squad from the 101st as they endure the harsh winter, dwindling resources, and the constant threat of German forces, including infiltrators disguised in US Army uniforms. Their resilience and determination are tested as they await the clearing of the skies, hoping for a lifeline from above.
