John Marion Stryker is the ultimate Marine, a tough rifle squad leader who in 1943 is assigned a squad of new recruits saddled with three veterans and an old enemy of Stryker's from previous duties in the Far East. One recruit in particlar is a source of friction with Stryker, Peter Conway, whose father was Stryker's CO at Guadalcanal and who felt his son was too soft and cowardly to be a Marine. The squad grows more and more resentful at Stryker's increasingly brutal training regimen and his lack of sympathy for the varied personal problems of the recruits, but his determination to mold them into fighting men helps save their lives when the squad is landed at Tarawa in November 1943 and Stryker risks his life to blow up a Japanese bunker that has slaughtered Marines trapped at a log wall. The now battle-tested squad becomes more closely-knit and Stryker's relationship with the men warms as the squad eventually finds itself in the bloodiest island battle of the war, at Iwo Jima.
After his wife takes their son and leaves him, Sgt. John Stryker is an embittered man who takes his misery out on the men under his command. They're a bunch of green recruits who have a hard time dealing with Stryker's tough drills and thicker skin. Even his old friends start to wonder if he's gone from being the epitome of a tough Marine Sergeant to a man over the edge.
This movie stands the test of time,Wayne should have received his first Oscar for this one,the story is well told.The characters are like real people,and the film is well acted. John Wayne is immense as the tough Sgt who shapes his men into a fine fighting force,he's tough but cares for his men.The battle scenes are well done and realistic in 1949 and Wayne looks the type of Sgt who can save the day.Forest Tucker is good as a marine who hates the Wayne character at first,then respects him utterly.Watch this and enjoy a good war film.John Wayne is missed today in a world where we need hero figures like him to admire.9/10.I waterlogged this film again and even in 2006 it remains a classic, a tribute to the fighting foot soldiers who are ordinary guys fighting for freedom.Critics who say John Wayne cant act should watch this great performance.
yes saw the film about 10 times in all and have mixed thoughts being a former Marine myself not quite what i expected but i had already been in combat in Vietnam before i first saw the film in 1979 and probably just judged it on not being scary enough for after all combat is terrifying and should be shown as such and not just for political purposes. but apart from that the film tries to show the spirit of the Marine Corps and who better to play that part than the man himself John Wayne<br/><br/>&quot;Semper Fi&quot;<br/><br/>Bob Cairns Delta 1/5 Hue 1968
