1. Oba: The Last Samurai (2011)

Director: Hideyuki Hirayama

The Japanese Army’s Saipan Garrison put on their last-ditch Banzai charge at the Battle of Saipan, where almost no one survived. Out of 4,000 Japanese who had taken part in the charge, only one survived – Yutaka Sakae.

Oba played dead at first, but then he was found by a small group of survivors who had made it back to the jungle. As the highest-ranking officer still alive, Oba assumed command of the 46 Japanese soldiers and 200+ Japanese civilians who had managed to get away from the Marines and fight a guerilla war even after the Americans declared the island secure.

The USMC commander, Colonel Pollard, was furious at Oba’s defiance and launched an all-out effort to capture him, which the Marines nicknamed “The Fox”. After Pollard failed to capture Oba, he was relieved of his command and replaced by a mild-mannered colonel, Wessinger.

Wessinger decided to take a less aggressive approach and sent in Captain Lewis, who was fluent in Japanese and had a strong grasp of Japanese culture. Lewis was able to persuade Oba to surrender. – Northern Mariana Islands Movies

Director: John Woo

When the Americans needed a secure way to communicate during World War II, they came up with a code using the Navajo language. They recruited Navajos to be code talkers and assigned them to each unit.

They would use the code to communicate with each other so that even if the enemy could hear them, they wouldn’t know what they were talking about. To make sure the code was safe, they assigned men to protect it no matter what it took. One of those men was Joe Enders.

Joe had an injury that made him unfit for service, but he managed to avoid it. He was told he had a job to do and that the person he was supposed to protect was Ben Yahzee! At first, there’s a lot of tension between the two men, but eventually, they get along. – Northern Mariana Islands Movies
