Story: Tony Curtis plays an Indian (Nicknamed "Chief" by other soldiers) who fights in WWII and helps to raise the flag at Iwo Jima.

During WW2, 17-year-old Ira Hamilton Hayes, a Pima Indian from Arizona, enlists in the Marine Corps. During boot camp at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, Ira strikes up a strong and long-lasting friendship with fellow marine, Jim Sorenson. Shipped to the Pacific Theatre of Operations, the two marines fight on Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima. They are among the six marines who raise the U.S. flag on Suribachi. Soon afterwards, Sorenson is killed by enemy fire in front of a stunned Ira. Later on, the surviving three marines who helped raise the flag at Iwo Jima are ordered back to the USA to participate in a war bond drive. They tour the country, surrounded by the mass-media and the adoring crowds. They participate at rallies, meetings, media-events and parades. They are asked to make public speeches to persuade the citizens to buy war bonds. However, heartbroken over his friends death, Ira often turns to booze to give himself the courage to continue. His drinking worsens and he is sent back to his unit at the front lines. After the war his fame and notoriety makes it impossible to lead a normal life of anonymity. Many people, organizations, charities, causes and events ask for his participation, as a War Hero, for publicity purposes. But Ira, who still grieves his friends death and doesnt consider himself a hero, is tired of all the publicity, the attention, the demanding fans and the numerous favors hes being asked for. He also feels guilty of having survived the war while his friends died. He drinks until he hits rock bottom. Vowing to stay sober, he returns to his tribe in Arizona where he lives with his family. He gives up booze and runs for election to the tribal council. Devastated by the loss in elections, Ira gets drunk one last time. He climbs the nearby mountain which, in his mind, is his personal Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima. At the top, he finally takes his rightful place among his fallen comrades.

A semi-fictional account of the exploits of , a Native American of the Pima Nation of Arizona, during WWII and immediately following to his death in 1955 are presented. As he was underage at the time, his parents needed to sign the papers to allow him to enlist in the US Marine Corps, they doing so despite their fears of he being treated differently than other recruits because of his native heritage, and with many of those within the Pima Nation seeing the war as that of the white man who they feel disrespect them in not even providing the Pima with water while the new city of Phoenix is springing up with water galore for their residents needs and wants. Indeed, he is both treated differently because of his heritage, and is ill-prepared for some of the most basic of tasks at boot camp, partly due to his youth and partly due to his lack of experience being Native American. Working hard to prove himself, he is ultimately able to earn the respect and friendship most specifically of fellow private, James Sorenson, arguably who was and is the most battle ready among those at camp. Being on the battlefield may be a different situation where no one will check ones background as mortar fire is blaring around them. A specific incident that happens when he, Sorenson and some of their fellow boot camp mates are in battle in Iwo Jima will forever affect his life, that incident to which he is inextricably tied and which he will never be able to fully deal with emotionally.
