This movie is about a man named Joe Enders (Nicholas Cage) gets injured during battle trying to hold a position. He returns to war after faking being healed with the help of the nurse named Rita. The captain orders Joe to "babysit" a Navajo soldier nicknamed the Codetalkers. The reason they are nicknamed the codetalkers is because they know the Navajo code. His name is Ben Yahzee. His friend, Charlie Whitehorse, is also a codetalker. Joe has to protect Ben at all costs. If the codetalker gets into enemy hands and cannot be retrieved they are supposed to be executed. The battle in this movie is the invasion of Saipan which was a Japanese island. The battle occurred in 1944. Ben disguised himself as a Japanese soldier to raid an enemy base for the radio. During that raid was when he killed his first person. In the end, Joe had to kill Charlie because he had been taken. Joe, Ben, Chick, and Pappas get ambushed and the only one that dies is Joe. Ben ends up back home with his wife and son and tells them about his friend that he met in the war named Joe. He keeps Joe's dog tags and shows them to his son and tells him to remember Joe as his friend.
