The Big Red One

In a haunting, semi-autobiographical epic, Samuel Fuller's "The Big Red One" chronicles the World War II experiences of a grizzled sergeant and his squad of infantrymen as they traverse Africa, Italy, France, and Germany, facing unimaginable horrors in concentration camps. With a unique blend of action, drama, and vignettes, the film pays tribute to Fuller's own wartime service with the 1st Infantry Division, earning its place among some of the most visceral war dramas ever made.
