Sands of Iwo Jima
A great human story... makes a mighty motion picture!
Directed by Allan Dwan
Produced by Republic Pictures
A war drama that uses the crucible of combat to reveal the humanity beneath a harsh sergeant's discipline and the bonds forged between soldiers facing mortality.
Haunted by personal demons, Marine Sgt. John Stryker is hated and feared by his men, who see him as a cold-hearted sadist. But when their boots hit the beaches, they begin to understand the reason for Stryker's rigid form of discipline.
