Errol Flynn stars as Major Nelson, leader of an elite force of paratroopers, in this thrilling World War II film. Nelson and his men fly into Burma, behind Japanese lines, in order to destroy a pivotal radar station. After completing their task, the soldiers start to make their way back to the pick-up point, when a contingent of Japanese troops confronts them. Now the captives will endure a grueling fate -- and they can only hope they're strong enough to survive long enough to get rescued.

A group of paratroopers are dropped into the Burmese jungle to wipe out a Japanese radar station. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Original Story.

Additional cast: Joel Allen (Brophy), Asit Koomar (Ghurka), John Sheridan (Co-Pilot), and Erville Anderson (General Stilwell). Additional credits: Jack McConaghy (set decorator), John Maxwell (dialogue director), Leonid Raab (orchestral arrangements), Elmer Decker (assistant director), and Frank Mattison (unit manager). Screenwriter Lester Cole was one of the Hollywood 10, blacklisted and imprisoned during Senator Joseph McCarthy's Communist witchhunt.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A great movie
This movie is one of the best combat films of WW2. Flynn is excellent. One of his best performance makes it must see for fans of his and the genre. There are some moments when you might actually find yourself not breathing. The image quality is very good and the audio is clear. If you like war movies, don´t pass up a chance to see this. A great deal that I recommend sight unseen.

5 stars A GREAT WW2 SURVIVAL STORY
This has been one of my favorite WW2 movies for years as it is comprised totally of jungle combat and survival with no distracting side stories of sweethearts or family. The taut action and tense leadership displayed by Errol Flynn is powerful and inspiring. You will be consumed with patriotism and pride as the american troopers trek their way through uncharted territory and "beetles, bugs, snakes" as one of the humorous characters laments. The British were in a snit when this movie was released in 1945 because they considered the war in Burma to be their own. Regardless of these sanctimonious contentions, americans also battled and survived in Burma and this fictional story is a rousing tribute to their contributions. I was ecstatic when I noticed this excellent war movie was on DVD. Now if only Warner Brothers would bring out "Destination Tokyo" on DVD too. Objective Burma is a great WW2 action movie for men only and contains one of the best performances ever by Errol Flynn. This is now one of the crown jewels in my war DVD collection. A movie similar to it is "Merrill's Marauders" which is not available on DVD.

5 stars Excelent film
It´s a classical war film and the DVD format is very good. The quality of the actors is excelent. One defect of the film: the justification for the nuclear attack.

John Sturges's adaptation of Alistair MacLean's novel stars Rock Hudson as submarine commander James Ferraday. When a weather-monitoring station near the North Pole is nearly destroyed by fire, he's ostensibly sent to find out what went wrong. But since he's been ordered to bring along Capt. Leslie Anders (Jim Brown) and a platoon of Marines, British agent David Jones (Patrick McGoohan), and Russian defector Boris Vaslov (Ernest Borgnine), he realizes he's being kept in the dark about the true nature of the mission. Eventually it becomes clear that the USS Tigerfish is in a race with a Russian sub to recover reconaissance film crucial to national defense that was being carried aboard a spacecraft that crashed near the polar ice cap. When the sub is sabotaged--causing it to sink perilously close to a depth that would lead to an explosion--it becomes clear that a double agent is on board, but Ferraday doesn't have enough ...
