Synopsis "An exciting, head-bashing action epic from John Woo!" -Rex Reed In the brutal World War II Battle of Saipan, Sergeant Joe Enders (Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage) guards - and ultimately befriends - Ben Yahzee (Adam Beech), a young Navajo trained in the one wartime code never broken by the enemy, the Navajo Code. But if Yahzee should fall into Japanese hands, how far will Enders go to save the military's most powerful secret? John Woo directs this "exciting" (Premiere) "against all odds battle adventure" (The Toronto Star) written by John Rice and Joe Batteer and inspired by the true story of the Navajo soldiers whose courage and sacrifices helped win the war in the Pacific.

Empire Review An incredible war movie set during the war in the Pacific - 4.25 out of 5  (4/22/2005) Years ago, when I was in college, I had a project due in a linguistics class (I know, I know, it was a requirement) and I pitched a project idea to the professor about the Navajo language being used in the Pacific Theatre during World War II. Needless to say, he didn't like the idea (no imagination) and I didn't do the project because he said there wouldn't be any information out there.

The Navajo stuff is maudlin.   more >>
