U.S. Army poster depicting the breakthrough at the Battle of Chipyong-ni

Many films, books, and other media have depicted the 1950—53 Korean War. The TV series M*A*S*H is one well known example. The 1959 novel The Manchurian Candidate has twice been made into films. The 1982 film Inchon about the historic battle that occurred there in September 1950 was a financial and critical failure. By 2000 Hollywood alone had produced 91 feature films on the Korean War.^[1] Many films have also been produced in South Korea and other countries as well.^[2]
