Mission accomplished! Errol Flynn, who brought boyish bravado to The Adventures of Robin Hood, Dodge City, Gentleman Jim and other screen yarns, turns in a mature, acclaimed performance as the leader of a paratrooper patrol stranded in Burma. It's "one of the few features of which I am proud," Flynn later said. There's reason for pride. "This is one of the finest World War II films made during the war," The Movie Guide says. "One of the best war movies," Guide for the Film Fanatic's Danny Peary wrote, "and among the grimmest." Raoul Walsh directs the hard-hitting action, shot in rugged California locations so similar to Burma that veterans of that campaign refused to believe the crew hadn't somehow sneaked into Asia.

Description

It is the 1970s in Kingston, Jamaica. Leroy 'Horsemouth' Wallace is struggling to earn the money to support his family. He is an excellent drummer, but due to corruption in the music industry, he is left to rot in poverty. When he protests, the music industry is swift to crush his resistance. Finally, he bands together with fellow musicians Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown, Jacob Miller and Bunny Wailer and stages an uprising which will put his musical skills on the map, and benefit the local community at the same time. The film contains music performed by some of the legends of reggae.
