We all know how WWII ended, but when this film was made victory hardly seemed certain. Things were particularly worrisome in the Philippines, where the Japanese had the Americans on the run. As Bataan begins, 13 soldiers volunteer to hold off the Japanese as the rest of the American army retreats to safety. Their rearguard action is to blow up a vital bridge, needed by the Japanese to convey their troops, and to blow it up again and again when the Japanese try to rebuild it. But how long can 13 troops stand strong against an entire army? How long can they keep fighting? At times this is a pretty brutal film, but it shows the courage of men who kept on fighting even when, at that time, all seemed hopeless. An inspiring message for our time too.
