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.
"A heavyweight cast in a big Terrence Malick movie, based off the book of the same name written by James Jones. The result is a real punch in the face, showing us the horrors of the Pacific front of World War II and, from a small scenario, making the names of the soldiers fighting the conflict gain stories, fears, dreams and desires. Malick's philosophical approach gains even deeper scope with the great soundtrack signed by Hans Zimmer, considered until today one of the greatest in cinema history - and recycled or reused in various productions that came after."
