Plots(1)
Cornel Wilde and Rip Torn star as a pair of marines in this World War II drama. Set on a remote Pacific island, Captain MacDonald (Wilde) and Sergeant Honeywell (Torn) must locate and eliminate Japanese enemy forces among some treacherous terrain. But with their enemies far better equipped at dealing with the conditions, the Americans have to battle hard to make any headway. Longing for home and caught up in a brutal war that has transformed troops from young men into ruthless fighting machines, this tough battle is indicative of how many soldiers were irretrievably altered in wartime.
