ARENAS SANGRIENTAS (Sands of Iwo Jima) (USA., 1949)

Synopsis: Marine sargeant Stryker is a man who is very hard with his men, although beneath this cloak of toughness is hidden a great heart. He does all he can so that his men don’t die in combat, something quite impossible given the fact that the war in the Pacific against the Japanese is one of the bloodiest in the history of World War II.
