Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)
Die Pazifikinsel Iwo Jima im Februar 1945: Unter dem Kommando von General Tadamichi Kuribayashi bereiten sich die japanischen Truppen auf dem Militärstützpunkt auf die bevorstehende Invasion US-amerikanischer Truppenverbände vor. Kuribayashi, der vor dem Krieg die USA bereist hat, weiß genau, dass seine Truppen zahlenmäßig hoffnungslos unterlegen sind, rüstet aber mit strategischem Geschick und der Hilfe seines adligen Freundes Baron Nishi zur Verteidigung der Insel. Da die meisten Soldaten sich über die aussichtslose Lage bewusst sind und wissen, dass sie Iwo Jima höchstwahrscheinlich nicht lebend verlassen werden, schreiben sie ihren Angehörigen in der Heimat Abschiedsbriefe. Als die Amerikaner, die an einen schnellen Sieg über die Japaner glauben, auf der Insel landen, treffen sie auf heftigen Widerstand und einen gut organisierten Gegner, der ihnen fast 40 Tage lang mit dem Mut der Verzweiflung und großer Opferbereitschaft empfindliche Verluste zufügt.
