Synopsis

December 1944: the Japanese Empire`s denouement draws near. On the Philippine island of Lubang, Japanese forces hold out on one of its final strongholds. Among them is Hiroo Onoda, a soldier fresh off the boat. Trained in the art of guerrilla warfare, Onoda is an intelligence officer tasked with sabotaging the island`s airstrip to hamper an American invasion. However, his superiors are more concerned with evading threats rather than facing them. Come the invasion, Onoda leads three men to the hills, with orders to stay and fight. Onoda, driven by an obstinate sense of duty, continues the battle for three decades despite the official surrender of Japan. Based on actual events, the film is an epic portrait of nationalist loyalty and perseverance.
