Overview

A group of men parachute into Japanese-occupied Burma with a dangerous and important mission: to locate and blow up a radar station. They accomplish this well enough, but when they try to rendezvous at an old air-strip to be taken back to their base, they find Japanese waiting for them, and they must make a long, difficult walk back through enemy-occupied jungle.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A WWII combat film that trades sustained action for the grinding realism of soldiers pushing through jungle and exhaustion after a raid goes sideways. It's taut war cinema focused on the grueling human cost of military operations.
