Letters from Iwo Jima
horizontal line

Clint Eastwood's unforgettable, groundbreaking, deeply moving, eye-opening, Oscar-worthy companion film to Flags of Our Fathers that is inspired by unearthed, haunting letters that were buried on Iwo Jima; that gives stunning, humbling, and often disturbing insight into the strict code of honor and unquestionable sacrifices to which every Japanese soldier is bound; and that shows the valiant, but futile efforts of the extraordinarily clever and commanding General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe), his officers (Tsuyoshi Ihara, Hiroshi Watanabe, Shido Nakamura, Eljiro Ozaki, Toshi Toda, Ken Kensei, et al.), and their terrified, brave men (Ryo Kase, Kazunari Ninomiya, et al.) as they defend their strategically located island for 40 days against the overwhelming onslaught of American troops in 1945 during World War II.
