It is based on the 2000 book of the same name written by James Bradley and Ron Powers about the 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima, the five Marines and one Navy corpsman who were involved in raising the flag on Iwo Jima, and the after effects of that event on their lives. Taken from the American viewpoint of the Battle of Iwo Jima, the film is a companion piece to Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima, which depicts the same battle from the Japanese viewpoint; the two films were shot back to back. ## Credits - **Director:** [Clint Eastwood](https://cinepixo.com/people/clint-eastwood) - **Original Music Composer:** [Clint Eastwood](https://cinepixo.com/people/clint-eastwood) - **Producer:** [Clint Eastwood](https://cinepixo.com/people/clint-eastwood), [Steven Spielberg](https://cinepixo.com/people/steven-spielberg), [Robert Lorenz](https://cinepixo.com/people/robert-lorenz) - **Screenplay:** [Paul Haggis](https://cinepixo.com/people/paul-haggis), [William Broyles, Jr.](https://cinepixo.com/people/william-broyles-jr) - **Director of Photography:** [Tom Stern](https://cinepixo.com/people/tom-stern) - **Editor:** [Joel Cox](https://cinepixo.com/people/joel-cox) ## Cast - [David Clennon](https://cinepixo.com/people/david-clennon) - [Tom Mason](https://cinepixo.com/people/tom-mason-2) - [David Rasche](https://cinepixo.com/people/david-rasche) - [Melanie Lynskey](https://cinepixo.com/people/melanie-lynskey) as Pauline Harnois Gagnon - [Silas Weir Mitchell](https://cinepixo.com/people/silas-weir-mitchell) - [George Grizzard](https://cinepixo.com/people/george-grizzard) as John Bradley - [Tom Verica](https://cinepixo.com/people/tom-verica) - [John Slattery](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-slattery) as Bud Gerber - [Gordon Clapp](https://cinepixo.com/people/gordon-clapp) as Holland Smith - [Connie Ray](https://cinepixo.com/people/connie-ray) - [Judith Ivey](https://cinepixo.com/people/judith-ivey) as Belle Block - [Barry Pepper](https://cinepixo.com/people/barry-pepper) as Michael Strank - [Beth Grant](https://cinepixo.com/people/beth-grant) - [David Patrick Kelly](https://cinepixo.com/people/david-patrick-kelly) as Harry S.
