Based on the graphic novel by James Jones, The Thin Red Line tells the story of a group of men, an Army Rifle company called C-for-Charlie, who change, suffer, and ultimately make essential discoveries about themselves during the fierce World War II battle of Guadalcanal. It follows their journey, from the surprise of an unopposed landing, through the bloody and exhausting battles that follow, to the ultimate departure of those who survived. A powerful frontline cast - including Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Woody Harrelson and George Clooney - explodes into action in this hauntingly realistic view of military and moral chaos in the Pacific during World War II.

Best war movie to date. There are many other films like Apocalypse Now or The Deer Hunter that capture the totality of war. I often come back to this movie because of the script and the views the characters present. It's a great film, it's not meant for action seeking viewers.

An in depth telling of a horrendous battle. You feel connected to the characters and you feel their pain.

Some of the most beautiful and haunting scenes in film.
