With their sergeant and other NCOs dead, the youngest of the soldiers, Nate Burrows Jr. The OSS agent, knowing that he is near death, asks the soldiers to complete his mission: to find the bomb disable it and extract the scientist developing it, who wishes to defect. They come across an American OSS agent suffering from horrific burn wounds, and learn that the Germans are close to development of a super-bomb which will enable them to turn the tide of war and achieve victory. En route, they stumble across a German experimental site, still smoldering with flames from some devastating event.

After a fierce firefight, the Americans escape and try to make their way back to their own lines to report the German surge. With the Germans apparently near defeat in the latter part of World War II, a squad of American soldiers from the 2nd Infantry Division on a routine mission near Elsenborn in the Belgian Ardennes encounter a surprisingly strong German tank destroyer and infantry force. De Meo would later write Company of Heroes 2.

It was loosely based on the video game of the same name. The screenplay was co-written by Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo. Company of Heroes is a 2013 American direct-to-video war thriller film directed by Don Michael Paul.
