Eager but naïve, Eddie dreams of becoming a paratrooper but soon faces grueling training, bullying from fellow recruits, and the harsh realities of military life. He clashes especially with a tough city kid named Rocky, who believes Eddie doesn’t have what it takes to be a real soldier. Over time, Eddie's determination, perseverance, and growth earn him the respect of his peers, culminating in his first real parachute jump — a rite of passage for every paratrooper.
