Synopsis: Windtalkers (2002)
Synopis: On December 8, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan. For the next several years, U.S. forces were fully engaged in battle throughout the Pacific, taking over islands one by one in a slow progression towards mainland Japan. During this brutal campaign, the Japanese were continually able to break coded military transmissions, dramatically slowing U.S. progress. In 1942, several hundred Navajo Americans were recruited as Marines and trained to use their language as code. Marine Joe Enders is assigned to protect Ben Yahzee - a Navajo code talker, the Marines' new secret weapon. Enders' orders are to protect his code talker, but if Yahzee should fall into enemy hands, he's to "protect the code at all costs." Against the backdrop of the horrific Battle of Saipan, when capture is imminent, Enders is forced to make a decision: if he can't protect his fellow Marine, can he bring himself to kill him to protect the code?Features: Windtalkers (2002)

Pros: It's good history, especially for youger generations, but for baby boomers like me!
Cons: non that I can think of unless you don't like war movies
I think it was great! The Navajos finally get honored in this movie where they used their language as code that the Japanese couldn't decode!! They helped the USA very much andly worth watching!!!!
...
without these code talkers we would have had a lot of trouble. Great WWII movie. My Dad had mentioned the Navajo code (long time before this movie) but until I saw the movie I couldn't fully appreciate their contribution!!!Definate
