Windtalkers [Blu-ray] Blu-Ray DVD Summary
Loosely based on a real-life operation during World War II, this
action-adventure
from director
John Woo
stars
Nicolas Cage
as
Joe Enders
, a Marine traumatized by the loss of his entire platoon in the Solomon Islands during an ambush he believes was deadlier than necessary due to his indecision.
Suffering from eardrum damage in Hawaii,
Joe
manages to be declared fit for duty once again thanks to a sympathetic nurse (
Frances O'Connor
), but his new assignment isn't what he expects.
Joe
is ordered to safeguard a Navajo soldier named
Ben Yahzee
(
Adam Beach
) because the military has developed a new secret code based on the near-dead Navajo language that is proving unbreakable to the Japanese.
Any soldier that speaks Navajo is an immediate asset, including
Ben
and his pal,
Charlie Whitehorse
(
Roger Willie
).
Joe
's orders are to "baby sit"
Ben
during the invasion of Saipan, protecting him if possible, but -- if the code-talker's capture becomes imminent -- to kill him before he falls into enemy hands.
Meanwhile,
Charlie
is to be guarded by affable harmonica player
Ox Henderson
(
Christian Slater
).
Joe
reluctantly accepts this new duty as a way to get back into the war, and in the ensuing carnage, his nearly suicidal acts of bravery make him a hero while
Ben
becomes paralyzed by fear.
Determined to live up to
Joe
's example,
Ben
musters up his courage, even in the face of racism from a fellow soldier (
Noah Emmerich
), and ends up rescuing his own protector behind enemy lines by briefly posing as a Japanese soldier.
Despite their growing mutual respect,
Joe
is eventually forced to take an action that threatens to shatter his bond with
Ben
, as the war's tragic losses strike closer to home for both men.
Windtalkers
co-stars
Peter Stormare
,
Jason Isaacs
, and
