Product Description

The World War II Philippines are the setting for these battle-filled films that temper their heroics with the hard reality of history. Robert Taylor leads valorous U.S. and Filipino combatants facing hopeless odds in a holding action at a bridge in Bataan. John Wayne portrays Col. Joseph Madden and organizes resistance fighters in Back to Bataan, a morale booster whose true-life incidents include the rescue of prisoners from Cabanatuan. An on-screen roll call of real-life soldiers freed by the mission underscores the event. Seeing those haunted but happy faces was a touching moment for audiences then. It remains so today.

Customer Reviews

Great WW2 era films!
Bataan was a great movie about selfless service and putting duty above all else. The acting was perfect in Bataan, back to Bataan was good too, but the quality of Bataan overshadowed it.

Bataan / Back To Bataan
In my humble opinion, "Bataan" is one of the best WWII movies made. The inclusion of "Back To Bataan" make this particular disc Bataan/Back to Bataan set even better.

Bataan/ Back To Bataan
Bataan has always been one of my favourites and I never get tired of watching it.
Back to Bataan is a great follow up.
