Only the Brave (2006)
Oktober 1944, das texanische 141. Regiment ist in den französischen Vogesen von den Nazis eingekesselt worden. Sie werden als im Kampf verloren abgestempelt. Trotzdem schickt der Regimentsgeneral eine Spezialeinheit los, um die vermissten Soldaten und deren Schicksal aufzuklären. Koste es, was es wolle. Die Nisei Kompanie, die den Auftrag übernehmen soll, besteht aus Japanern, die die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft besitzen und in den Krieg für ihr Land gezogen sind. Die Männer brechen durch die deutschen Linien, um sich der gegnerischen Übermacht zu stellen. Werden sie die eingeschlossenen Kameraden retten können oder müssen sie sich den Nazis geschlagen geben? Ein Kampf auf Leben und Tod beginnt, wie er grausamer nicht sein könnte ...
