Japan: 1945.

This final stand against the Allied onslaught soon becomes the bloodiest battle of the Pacific Theater, taking the horrors of war to a level never before seen, as the desperate Japanese Army tries to demonstrate to the Americans what they should expect when they assault the Japanese mainland.

Legendary director Kihachi Okamoto ("Japan's Longest Day") creates a vivid depiction of the Pacific's most horrific campaign, and illustrates the strength of the ordinary Japanese people who endured the unendurable.
