|---|
OBJECTIVE, BURMA ! is a Warner production directed by Raoul Walsh in 1945. This film earned three nominations for the 1946 Academy Awards.
Erroll Flynn and his platoon are ordered to destroy a Japanese radar station in Burma. The mission is a success but they are unable to fly back to India as the Japanese army is right behind them. So they'll have to walk more than 100 miles throughout the burmese jungle, surrounded by Japanese, in order to be saved.
