P L O T
In the close quarters and brutal fighting of the
World War II Pacific Theater, the U.S. Intelligence
services desparetly seek a fool-proof encryption code,
immune to the code breakers of the Japanese. The
answer is soon discovered in the ancient language of
the Navajo, and enlisted into the Marine Corps are
several "Windtalkers" who are deployed to front line
areas in the Pacific to make thier language into an
impossible secret code. A draw back, however, is that
the U.S. military soon puts forth a directive that the
Windtalkers must never be captured alive by the enemy,
and assigns additional Marines to make certian that
this directive is carried out to the letter.
