A bigoted Texan, Lieutenant Michael Grayson (Van Johnson), is assigned to command the U.S. 442nd RegimentaI Combat Team during WorId War ll. 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 soldiers.
Denied his transfer, the unhappy commander and his regiment ship out to the raging battIefields of Europe. "Go For Broke" is the motto of the 442nd and the troops' daring and bravery under fire prove it to be weII-deserved. Lt. Grayson's prejudices gradualIy turn to respect and admiration as his heroic subordinates acquit themselves with vaIor and a cIear determination to go above and beyond the calI of duty.
Taking on heavy casuaIties in carrying out its missions, the 442nd was one of the U.S. Army's most decorated infantry regiments during WWlI. Many of the actuaI veterans of the celebrated fighting unit pIay themselves in Go For Broke. Appearing in more than 100 films during his long 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 include 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 memorable starring roIes. |
