"This is total war Captain. No quarter asked. No quarter given."Hammer's attempt at a gritty war drama see's Captain Langford (Stanley Baker) commanding a rag-tag platoon retreating through the Burmese jungle, surrounded on all sides by the Japanese. When they come across what could be some vital information, Langford does whatever he can to extract it, including killing innocent villagers. A decision that has long term ramifications.
Not your standard war film; this is no clean cut us v them, good v evil. Here the British act in similar ways to the Japanese. This is war, and war is anything but nice.
