Company of Heroes is the 2013 World War II film inspired by the videogame of the same name. The film focuses on a platoon of US Army soldiers who find themselves behind enemy lines in the Ardennes forest in 1944. After engaging enemy forces, the men find that Germany is devising a secret superweapon and resolve to retrieve the bomb for the Allies. The film stars Chad Michael Collins, Neal McDonough, Vinnie Jones, and Tom Sizemore.
