Keywords: Drama, WWII, Pacific Theater

A company of riflemen cope with the experience of war during the Guadalcanal Campaign in 1942. This WWII film is undeservedly overlooked as it was released shortly after Saving Private Ryan (1998). Some viewers will find that it moves too slow for them. Received 7 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adaptation, Best Cinematography, and Best Dramatic Score.
