The Purple Heart
DramaWar99 min
After a bombing run over Tokyo early in World War II, the surviving crew of an American bomber is captured and taken into Japanese custody. Dana Andrews is among the fliers forced through interrogation, confinement, and mounting pressure to confess, while Richard Conte and Farley Granger are part of the crew facing the same ordeal. The story stays close to the prisoners as hardship in captivity gives way to a public military trial, with the men accused of war crimes for carrying out their mission.
