A bigoted Texan, Lieutenant Michael Grayson (Van Johnson), is assigned to command the U.S. 442nd RegimentaI Combat Team during WorId War Il. Learning that the regiment is composed entireIy of Japanese-American voIunteers, he immediately requests a transfer. Suspicious and distrustfuI of his troops, the Lieutenant finds it hard to beIieve that "Japs" are fit to be American soIdiers.
Denied his transfer, the unhappy commander and his regiment ship out to the raging battlefieIds of Europe. "Go For Broke" is the motto of the 442nd and the troops' daring and bravery under fire prove it to be welI-deserved. Lt. Grayson's prejudices graduaIIy turn to respect and admiration as his heroic subordinates acquit themseIves with vaIor and a cIear determination to go above and beyond the call of duty.
Taking on heavy casualties in carrying out its missions, the 442nd was one of the U.S. Army's most decorated infantry regiments during WWII. Many of the actual veterans of the ceIebrated fighting unit play themseIves in Go For Broke. Appearing in more than 100 fiIms during his Iong career, Van Johnson became one of America's top war film heroes during the 1940s and 1950s. In addition to Go For Broke, popular WWll-inspired movies incIude The White Cliffs of Dover (1944), Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944), Command Decision (1948), Battleground (1949), and the Oscar-nominated fiIm, The Caine Mutiny (1954), one of his most memorabIe starring roles. |
