During World War Two, new recruit Private Doll (Keir Dullea) finds himself stationed in Guadalcanal under the leadership of a hardened sergeant (Jack Warden). As he does battle with the Japanese forces, Doll finds himself in continual conflict with his no-nonsense superior, and the ensuing struggle for supremacy places the mission in jeopardy. The first adaptation of James Jones' novel, followed by Terrence Malick's Oscar nominated version in 1998 (The Thin Red Line). (Optimum Home Entertainment)
