Todeskommando (1950)
Am 19. Februar 1945 landen über 100.000 amerikanische Soldaten auf der japanischen Insel Iwo Jima. Es soll die entscheidende Schlacht des Krieges im Pazifik werden. Unter den Befehlshabern befindet sich Sergeant Stryker ein harter und unerbittlicher Kommandant, der seine Männer bereits im Trainingscamp an den Rand ihrer Kräfte treibt. Doch unter der harten Schale verbirgt sich ein vom Schicksal gebeutelter Mann, der bereit ist, alles für seine Männer zu geben – auch das Leben.
