Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood directs the untold story of Japanese soldiers defending their homeland against invading American f-rces during World War II. With little defense beyond sheer will and the terrain of Iwo Jima itself, the tactics of General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe of The Last Samurai) and his men transform what might have been swift defeat into nearly 40 days of heroic combat. Their sacrifices, struggles, courage and compassion live on in the taut, gripping film Rolling Stone calls "unique and unforgettable" and which won - among 4 Academy Award nominations including Best Picture - the Oscar for Best Sound Editing (2006).
