POWs work outside without their shirts.

Sex: None

A fairly intense scene where two soldiers are told to undress, and they do. You see their completely bare backsides. They are also shown at a distance from the front, covering their genitals with their hands. Some pubic hair is visible.

Extreme, graphic violence throughout. This film is surprisingly very violent for a PG-13 rating, and the violence is highly realistic and very disturbing, though this is intentional since the film is meant to show us the true horrors of war.

POWs stand at attention for many hours; one POW stands at attention and another kneels on a board in place for hours, both slouching in pain. In several scenes, POWs without coats are forced to stand or exercise outside in the winter in snow and ice. There are several scenes of POWs helping each other to walk and we see one man hobbling alone on a crutch. A man has bloody fingernails and he says that he was tortured with pins under the nails, but gave up no information.

Over the Pacific Ocean, American warplanes fill the sky as Japanese Zeros attack with rapid machine gun fire; tail gunners and turret gunners fire back with large machine guns and down two enemy planes in fire and smoke and we hear one plane hit the water.

A police officer chases a teen boy, who runs into several young men that beat him and call him "dego"; we see the boy's face reddened by the others' fists and the policeman grabs the boy as he rises from the ground where he has fallen and takes him home. A boy's father whips him with a belt as the boy bends over the dining room table for drinking alcohol; we see the young man from the waist up, see the end of the belt fly and hear three sharp cracks, but see no blood or wounds. During a church service, a father slaps his son on the back of the head a few times to make him pay attention to the sermon.

A US plane returning to base breaks a landing wheel and suffers a flat tire, crippling the landing and causing sparks and screeching noises; the plane skids sideways and stops at a short rock wall that it breaks apart (the aviators appear shaken).

In the Pure Flix Release; all the language is removed

2 possible uses of the F-word (garbled by screaming and stomping), 3 scatological terms, 1 anatomical term, mild obscenities, name-calling (WOP, dumb dego, dumb, dope, broads, bum, nothing, enemy, crazy), stereotypical references to men, women, parents, police officers, teen boys, soldiers, Americans, the Japanese, Italians, radio reporters, propagandists, labor camp commandants, exclamations (oh boy, boy oh boy, shut-up), 3 religious profanities (goddamn), 8 religious exclamations (e.g. Oh My God, Jesus).

Drugs, recreational: None

A middle school or early high school teen takes a puff each time from a cigarette as he drinks alcohol from a pint milk bottle behind a building in one scene and under bleachers in another scene, an aviator in a warplane says that after a mission "drinks are on me," a man sits with a glass of beer in a restaurant (he does not drink from it), and a short glass of unidentified liquid sits beside a man on a porch (he does not drink from it). A man smokes two small cigars in an airplane cockpit, soldiers smoke a few cigarettes outdoors, a jeep driver smokes a cigarette as he drives, and POWs smoke many.

Three men are on lifeboats at sea, with sharks in the water. While fixing damage done to one of the boats, a shark suddenly attacks.

Very emotional, depressing,violent, and hard to watch.

The scene where a Japanese guard brutally beats/torments a main character may upset some viewers.
