драмабоевиквоенный

Эгоцентричный и трудолюбивый Уэдж Донован — владелец строительной компании, которая ведет реконструкции и строительство взлетных полос на островах Тихого океана во время Второй Мировой Войны. Однажды он узнает от лейтенанта Роберта Ярроу, что его безоружные рабочие убиты японцами. Решительно настроенные парни приезжают в Вашингтон с требованием получить оружие для обороны строек и организовать строительный батальон, который сможет не только строить, но и воевать. Правительственный чиновник отказывает быстро выдать оружие, мотивируя тем, что рабочие должны пройти годовой курс обучения. Раздосадованный Донован возвращается на остров, где продолжает свою опасную работу. Неожиданно на остров высаживается морской десант японцев. Агрессоры начинают теснить американские войска, обороняющие рубежи острова, и тогда Донован и его рабочие заводят моторы своих мощных тракторов, бульдозеров и экскаваторов, чтобы противостоять атаке «Самураев»…
