Sands of Iwo Jima, American war film, released in 1949, that depicts the hard-fought U.S. Victory over the Japanese at the Battle of Iwo Jima in February 1945. The film centres on a squad of U.S. Marines during World War II. The young recruits are led by Sgt.
Stryker (played by John Wayne), a rough disciplinarian who is initially despised by his men. Particularly resentful are Pvt. Al Thomas (Forrest Tucker), whose irresponsibility costs a soldier his life, and Pvt.
Peter Conway (John Agar), a cocky college graduate who considers Stryker cruel and inhuman for failing to rescue (100 of 280 words).
Contents. Plot Note: the story is told from the viewpoint of Robert Dunne. Tough-as-nails career Marine John Stryker is greatly disliked by the men of his squad, particularly the combat replacements, for the rigorous training he puts them through.
He is especially despised by Peter 'Pete' Conway , the arrogant, college-educated son of an officer, Colonel Sam Conway under whom Stryker served and admired, and PFC Al Thomas , who blames him for his demotion. When Stryker leads his squad in the, the men begin to appreciate his methods. Within the first couple of minutes of the battle, the platoon leader, Lt. Baker (Gil Herman), is killed only seconds after he lands on the beach, PFC 'Farmer' Soames is wounded in the leg, and PFC Choynski (Hal Baylor) receives a head wound. The marines are aggressively pinned down by a pillbox.
Able Company commander Captain Joyce takes charge and he begins to send out marines to silence the pillbox. As a result of three unsuccessful attempts to reach the pillbox, two demolition marines and a flamethrower operator are killed and PFC Shipley is left mortally wounded in the line of fire.
Stryker takes action and demolishes the pillbox. Shipley would eventually die of his wounds in front of his best friend Regazzi. Later on, Thomas becomes distracted from his mission, and 'goofs off' when he goes to get ammunition for two comrades, stopping to savor a cup of coffee. As a result, though he brings back coffee for his squadmates, he returns too late — the two Marines, now out of ammunition, in the interim are shown being overrun; Hellenopolis (Peter Coe) is killed, Bass badly wounded. On their first night, the squad is ordered to dig in and hold their positions under the cover of darkness. Bass lies wounded from a distance and begs for help. Conway considers Stryker brutal and unfeeling when he decides to apparently abandon Bass to the enemy.
After the battle, when Stryker discovers the truth, he forces Thomas into a fistfight. This is seen by a passing officer but Thomas, to Stryker's surprise, deflects the officer's intention of pressing charges against Stryker for violation of military rules in striking a subordinate by claiming that he was merely being taught by his superior. Subsequently, ravaged by his conscience over the fate of his fellow Marines, Thomas breaks down and abjectly apologizes for his dereliction of duty.
The squad receives three new recruits: Stein (Leonard Gumley), Fowler , and McHugh. Stryker reveals a softer side of his character while on leave in. He picks up a and returns with her to her apartment. He becomes suspicious when he hears somebody in the next room, but upon investigation, finds only a hungry baby boy that his intended is supporting the best way she can. Stryker gives the woman, whose child's father was 'gone,' some money and departs. The woman had earlier noted that there were 'worse ways to make a living than fighting a war,' in reference to her current lot in life. Later, during a training exercise, McHugh drops a live.
Everybody drops to the ground, except Conway, who is distracted reading a letter from his wife. Stryker knocks him down, saving his life, and then proceeds to bawl him out in front of the platoon. Stryker's squad subsequently fights in the battle for Iwo Jima. The squad suffers heavily within the first couple of hours, losing Soames, McHugh, Harris (George Tyne), and Frank Flynn. Stryker's squad is selected to be a part of the 40 man patrol that will charge up.
During the charge, Eddie Flynn , Stein, and Fowler are killed. While the remaining men were resting during a lull in the fighting, Stryker is killed by a Japanese soldier emerging from a spider hole. Bass quickly locates the spider hole and kills the Japanese shooter.
The remaining squad members (Conway, Thomas, Dunne, Regazzi, and Bass) find and read a letter on his corpse, a addressed to his son and expressing things Stryker wanted to say to him, but had never actually managed to. Moments later, the squad witnesses the iconic. Stryker.

( May 2012) Several of the actors were re-united in the 1970 western (1970): John Wayne, John Agar, Forrest Tucker, and Richard Jaeckel. The 1982 comedy The Great Cognito makes an implied reference to Sands of Iwo Jima. The only character to be seen onscreen is an entertainment impersonator, who changes into the people and events he talks about in his comic patter, using 's technique of stop-motion. In the end, while talking of Iwo Jima, Cognito breaks down in tears and leaves the stage, blubbering about how '. In the television show (1997–2010), this is the favorite film of, father of main character. Hank recalls that, during his childhood, his father would travel around searching for showings of this film.
The episode 'Call of Silence' (2004) in 's season 2 references the film and a documentary as shared background to history and legacy. The episode shows the NCIS character watching the documentary; the character approaches and, in furtherance of the character's as an avowed and knowledgeable movie, begins talking about the theatrical film Sands of Iwo Jima, some scenes of which were taken from the documentary. The band have a song title 'The Sands of Iwo Jima' on their 2004 album. It is sung from the perspective of a young boy who has been exposed to World War 2 through old John Wayne movies. He asks his great-uncle, a World War II veteran, if The Sands of Iwo Jima represents the war properly; the old man smiles, shakes his head and responds, 'I never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima.'
This may be a reference to the fact that Wayne, despite his many roles as a member of the armed forces, never actually served in the military. Idiom The first recorded use of the phrase ' is in this film: twice as a metaphor for 'get ready to fight' and once as a humorous invitation to drink alcohol (get loaded).
As a period term, it similarly appears in the 1998 film. Although the original use and implied meaning may be disputed, it typically described preparations for charging the semi-automatic rifle by first locking the bolt back by pulling the charging handle rearward and then loading an 8-round en bloc clip into the now open magazine.
