Merrill's Marauders

The year - 1944, the place - Burma, the objective - to prevent the Japanese and German forces linking together. Based on fact, Merrill's Marauders is a gritty and action-packed war film which tells the story of how Brigadier General Frank Merrill (Jeff Chandler) and 3,000 infantrymen achieved the impossible. Deep behind Japanese lines they endured the grim environment of the hostile jungle. Suffering from malaria, exhaustion, hunger and battle fatigue they marched 500 miles and against all the odds won a magnificent victory. Samuel Fuller (The Big Red One & White Dog) directs a strong cast which includes Ty Hardin and Will Hutchins, in an explosive story which is a must for all fans of war films. © Warner Bros, Inc.
