Four months after the hostilities of WWII officially ceased, Capt. Sakae Oba (AKA The Fox) and a loyalist band of Japanese soldiers entrenched themselves on Mt. Tapochau and continued fighting a guerrilla campaign. Meanwhile, a U.S. officer, determined to flush out him out of his mountain hideaway, sets about his seemingly simple objective. Strengthened by several hundred civilians who refuse to enter camps or follow suicide directives, Oba and his people fight on, unable to come to terms with an unthinkable defeat. With epic battle scenes reminiscent of Tora! Tora! Tora!, Battle of the Pacific is a classic war movie told from both Japanese and American perspectives.
