Merrill's Marauders

“How they fought those last 500 miles will remain forever in your memory!”

Three thousand American volunteers go into Burma behind Japanese lines, and the order is to keep moving toward Myitkyina no matter what stands in the way. Brig. Gen. Frank D. Merrill (Jeff Chandler) drives them past the point where tired men would stop. Samuel Fuller shows what is asked of soldiers who have already given everything, and how little of it anyone says aloud.
