A Home Too Far

1990 · 125 min War
7.9 / 10 · TMDB

A band of Chinese soldiers, severed from their main forces during the Japanese occupation, fights for survival in the Burmese jungles. Their odyssey is a relentless cycle of hungry marches, sudden ambushes, and fractures within the group. Captain Li, their leader, grapples with duty to his men and the gnawing despair of their plight. In this 'alien land', the line between heroism and savagery blurs, where the value of a life is counted in bullets and handfuls of rice. The film lays bare the fragility of humanity at the breaking point.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

'A Home Too Far' is a gritty, unsentimental portrait of war's absurdity, where the fiercest enemy often lurks within the ranks, not beyond them. The camera refuses to glorify, instead fixating on the mud, exhaustion, and slow corrosion of spirit.

What lingers after the credits is not spectacle, but the visceral weight of survival—a haunting, exhausting journey that leaves the taste of earth and dread in the air. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Kevin Chu

The oppressive jungle humidity, the scent of decay and cordite, silence pregnant with threat.
