Windtalkers
Honor Was Their Code.
Directed by John Woo
Produced by Lion Rock Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A war-action film centered on the bond between a Marine and a Navajo code talker, balancing combat intensity with themes of honor and cultural identity.
Joe Enders is a gung-ho Marine assigned to protect a "windtalker" - one of several Navajo Indians who were used to relay messages during World War II because their spoken language was indecipherable to Japanese code breakers.
