About this movie

John Woo's powerful war epic WINDTALKERS follows a platoon of men, among them code talkers, in the Battle of Saipan. Academy Award-winning actor Nicolas Cage and Christina Slater star as two marines assigned to protect two Navajo code talkers, played by Adam Beach and newcomer Roger Willie. The mission, however, is not so simple. Not only are they required to protect the code talker, but also the code. To that end, the classified mission calls for the bodyguard to terminate the code talkers if captures. With Woo's unique visual style and elaborately choreographed action sequences, WINDTALKERS tells the story of conflicted loyalties and the bond that forms among men through the ordeal of war.

I have watched this movie at my house probably ten times! NEVER GETS OLD! Anyone who likes action, drama, and isn't afraid to cry a little bit will love this movie half as much as I do.

Outstanding movie - once again Nicolas Cage was brilliant, he followed the orders of his superior even though you could tell that he truly didn't want to take the Navajo Indians life. I would definitely watch it again!!!
