Long-buried missives from the island reveal the stories of the
Japanese troops who fought and died there during World War II. Among
them are Saigo (Kazunari Ninomiya), a baker; Baron Nishi (Tsuyoshi
Ihara), an Olympic champion; and Shimizu (Ryo Kase), an idealistic
soldier. Though Lt. Gen. Tadamichi
Kuribayashi (Ken
Watanabe) knows he and his men have virtually no chance of survival, he
uses his extraordinary military skills to hold off American troops as
long as possible.
