Dana Andrews and Farley Granger star, respectively, as Capt. Harvey Ross and Sgt. Howard Clinton. They are among a group of eight airmen who, as part of Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, have been shot down by the Japanese and are being held in prison, awaiting execution. However, for propaganda value, the Japanese have decided to try their prisoners as war criminals before eliminating them. They have also promised to show clemency if any of the Americans are willing to provide valuable military secrets. How will the airmen, many of whom have already been badly tortured, respond to this questionable offer? (official distributor synopsis)
