Interesting facts

Battle Zone is a 1952 American Korean War war film directed by Lesley Selander and starring John Hodiak, Stephen McNally and Linda Christian.

Production

Battle Zone is the first of a series of low-budget action films produced by Walter Wanger for Allied Artists after his prison sentence for assault; Fort Vengeance and Kansas Pacific followed in 1953. Each of the films was shot in two weeks for $200,000, and they were produced without Wanger's supervision. The film was part of Allied Artists' attempt to increase the quality and prestige of its product.

The film was intended as a vehicle for Edmond O'Brien, but he was forced to withdraw for a starring role in The Difference, later retitled The Hitch-Hiker, and was replaced by John Hodiak in June 1952.

Some sequences were filmed at Camp Pendleton in California.
