One of the best war movies of all time! This movie is amazingly powerful and explosive based on the true story of what REALLY happened on the River Kwai during WW2.
A Japanese P.O.W. camp during World War II becomes the battleground for the souls as well as the lives of its Scottish and British prisoners. Based on a true story, To End All Wars centers around Ernest Gordon, a young soldier who wants to teach philosophy. When Gordon recovers from seeming death by illness, the other prisoners agree to become Grodon’s pupils, studying Plato, Shakespeare, and the Bible. Gordon’s superior officer, Ian Campbell, scoffs at the increasingly pacificist bent of Gordon’s teachings. Jim Reardon, a lone American running a black market, is equally skeptical. But under the relentless brutality of the camp, the only way for the soldiers to survive is to find what gives their lives meaning.
