Additional information

In February, 1945, one of the fiercest battles of the Pacific theater of World
War
II occurs on the tiny island of Iwo Jima. Thousands of Marines attack the
stronghold maintained by thousands of Japanese, and the slaughter on both
sides is horrific. Early in the battle, an American flag is raised atop the high
point, Mount Suribachi, and a photograph of the raising becomes an
American cause celebre. As a powerful inspiration to war-sick Americans,
the photo becomes a symbol of the Allied cause. The three surviving flag
raisers, Rene Gagnon, John Bradley, and Ira Hayes, are whisked back to
civilization to help raise funds for the war effort. But the accolades for
heroism heaped upon the three men are at odds with their own personal
realizations that thousands of real heroes lie dead on Iwo Jima, and that their
own contributions to the fight are only symbolic and not deserving of the
singling out they are experiencing. Each of the three must come to terms
with the honors, exploitation, and grief that they face simply for being in a
photograph.
