This 1980 war film, directed by Samuel Fuller, follows a squad of American soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division, known as “The Big Red One,” as they navigate the harrowing landscapes of World War II. The narrative is driven by the experiences of the squad’s sergeant, played by Lee Marvin, and a group of young soldiers, including a character portrayed by Mark Hamill. The film is notable for its semi-autobiographical elements, as Fuller himself served in the 1st Infantry Division during the war. While it did not receive major awards, it is praised for its realistic depiction of the war and the camaraderie among soldiers.
