| Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
I Vesttyskland, under Anden Verdenskrig efterlader Menig David Manning modvilligt en såret kollega og leder efter overlevende fra sin deling - kun for att opdage, at alle er blevet dræbt i kamp. Han beder om hjemsendelse på grund af mentale problemer i kølvandet på oplevelsen, men forfremmes i stedet till Sergent og sendes på en ny opgave som leder for en deling af unge, uerfarne soldater. Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
In the post D-Day euphoria, American troops fighting in Europe hoped to be home by Christmas, but many wouldn't make it. Still to come was one of WWII's most senseless and savage conflicts - the largely forgotten Battle of Hurtgen Forest, dubbed 'The Death Factory', where three months of carnage left 24,000 American troops dead or wounded. After one particularly vicious skirmish, a shattered and scared Private David Manning stumbles through the muddy forest carrying a critically wounded comrade. Promoted for his bravery and reluctantly put in charge of raw recruits, Manning's troop is rapidly plunged into the horror and heroism of battle. Desperate to escape the slaughter of the front line, Manning embarks on an almost suicidal death-or-glory mission. But, will his luck hold out, or will someone else trudge out of the forest carrying back his broken body?
Directed by John Irvin (Hamburger Hill) and featuring a cast of hot young Hollywood talent, WHEN TRUMPETS FADE matches Saving Private Ryan in its passionate portrayal of the terrors and futility of warfare.... and its reluctant heroes. |
