Flags of Our Fathers & Letters From Iwo Jima [Blu-Ray 2-Movie Collection]

Flags of Our Fathers & Letters From Iwo Jima Blu-ray 2-Movie Collection is a double bill featuring both Clint Eastwood directed 'Iwo Jima' feature films: 'Flags of Our Fathers' and 'Letters from Iwo Jima'.

Flags of Our Fathers (2006)

February 1945. Even as victory in Europe was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi. 

Letters from Iwo Jima (1974)

Sixty-one years ago, US and Japanese armies met on Iwo Jima. Decades later, several hundred letters are unearthed from that stark island's soil. The letters give faces and voices to the men who fought there, as well as the extraordinary general who led them. The Japanese soldiers are sent to Iwo Jima knowing that in all probability they will not come back.

Among them are Saigo, a baker who wants only to live to see the face of his newborn daughter; Baron Nishi, an Olympic equestrian champion known around the world for his skill and his honor; Shimizu, a young former military policeman whose idealism has not yet been tested by war; and Lieutenant Ito, a strict military man who would rather accept suicide than surrender.
