Therefore, the Imperial Japanese Army is desperate to prevent it from falling into American hands and starting point for an invasion of Japan. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi mandated by the forces of the island and tries to prepare for imminent attack. General Kuribayashi, however, does not favor the rigid traditional approach recommended by subordinates, and resentment and resistance fester among his staff. In the lower echelons, a young soldier, Saigo, a poor baker in civilian life, with his friends trying to survive the harsh regime of the Japanese army itself, all knowing that a fierce battle looms. When the American invasion begins, both Kuribayashi and Saigo find strength, honor, courage, beyond imagination and terror.

Το νησί της Iwo Jima εμποδίζει την αμερικανική στρατιωτική δύναμη και το σπίτι νησιά της Ιαπωνίας. Ως εκ τούτου, η Imperial ιαπωνικό στρατό είναι απελπισμένοι για να την αποτρέψουμε από το να περιέλθουν σε χέρια αμερικανικών και σημείο εκκίνησης για μια εισβολή στην Ιαπωνία. Γενικά Tadamichi Kuribayashi δίνεται εντολή από τις δυνάμεις του νησιού και προσπαθεί να προετοιμαστεί για την επικείμενη επίθεση. Kuribayashi Γενικά, πάντως, δεν ευνοεί την άκαμπτη παραδοσιακή προσέγγιση που συνιστάται από υφισταμένους του, και η δυσαρέσκεια και αντίσταση κακοφορμίζουν μεταξύ του προσωπικού του. Σε χαμηλότερα κλιμάκια, ένα νεαρό στρατιώτη, Saigo, μια φτωχή φούρναρης στην πολιτική ζωή, με τους φίλους του προσπαθεί να επιβιώσει στη σκληρή καθεστώς του ιαπωνικού στρατού ίδια, όλα τα γνωρίζοντας ότι ένας σκληρός αγώνας αργαλειούς. Όταν ξεκινάει η αμερικανική εισβολή, και οι δύο Kuribayashi και Saigo βρείτε δύναμη, την τιμή, το θάρρος, πέρα από τη φαντασία και τρόμο.

The best put projects of mice and men. A satire of cold war that emphasizes the use of the new American Superpower arisen from external help to buy friends and to survive then far from the influence of the USSR. Peter Sellers, as the Prime minister of the projection of Magnificent Fenwick, conspiracies with Peter Sellers, like the Magnificent Duchess of the projection, to declare war against the EE. UU, loses and obtains that external help. Regrettably, they forget of saying to Peter Sellers, as Tully Bascombe, the commander of his medieval army. This honorable man makes everything possible for his country and for a series of incredible circumstances (good, this is a comedy) to win. Now, who has to give the help to whom?.

Los mejores proyectos puestos de ratones y hombres. Una sátira de guerra fría que enfatiza el uso de la nueva Superpotencia americana surgida de ayuda externa para comprar a amigos y conservarse entonces lejos de la influencia de la URSS. Peter Sellers, como el Primer Ministro de la proyección de Magnífico Fenwick, complots con Peter Sellers, como la Magnífica Duquesa de la proyección, para declarar guerra contra los EE. UU, pierden y consiguen aquella ayuda externa. Lamentablemente, ellos olvidan de decir a Peter Sellers, como Tully Bascombe, el comandante de su ejército medieval. Este hombre honorable hace todo lo posible para su país y por una serie de circunstancias increíbles (bien, este es una comedia) ganar. ¿Ahora, quién tiene que dar la ayuda a quien?.
