Flags of Our Fathers | Last Days of Iwo Jima

Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal witnesses the flag raising, and orders the flag retrieved for himself. Thinking his battalion deserves the flag more, Colonel Chandler Johnson sends Private First Class Rene Gagnon up to replace the first flag. About Flags of Our Fathers (Theatrical Release - October 20, 2006): Filmmaking legends Steven Spielberg and Clint Eastwood team up for the first time to tell the unforgettable story of the grueling World War II battle for the island of Iwo Jima -- a turning point in the war for control over the Pacific. The battle produced one of the war's most enduring images: a photograph of six U.S. Marines raising an American flag on the top of Mt. Suribachi. Multiple Academy Award® winner Eastwood directs a powerful all-star ensemble including Paul Walker, Ryan Phillippe, Adam Beach, Jamie Bell, Barry Pepper, Neal McDonough and more in this tragic depiction of an epic struggle that would cost the lives of thousands of Japanese and American soldiers. Screenplay by Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Crash) based on the best-selling book by James Bradley with Ron Powers. Subscribe to Warner Bros.
