John Wayne earned a 1949 Best Actor Academy Award nomination for one of his most iconic roles, as the battle-hardened leader of a squad of recruits, in Allan Dwans SANDS OF IWO JIMA. Haunted by his personal demons, Marine Sgt. John Stryker is both hated and feared by his men, who see him as a cold-hearted sadist. But when their boots hit the beaches, they begin to understand the reason for Strykers rigid form of discipline, as he leads them into one of the most treacherous battles in the Pacific. Emotionally gripping, punctuated with intense battle scenes, all bound together by Waynes larger-than-life performance, Sands of Iwo Jima is the quintessential WWII film.
After his wife takes their son and leaves him, Sgt. John Stryker is an embittered man who takes his misery out on the men under his command. Theyre a bunch of green recruits who have a hard time dealing with Strykers tough drills and thicker skin. Even his old friends start to wonder if hes gone from being the epitome of a tough Marine Sergeant to a man over the edge.
