Back To Bataan.

The film begins with the then-recent US Army Ranger raid at Cabanatuan prisoner-of-war camp. The film then flashes back to March 1942 as the U.S. Army struggles to hold on at Bataan against the Japanese. Colonel Joseph Madden is picked to organize Filipinos to fight as guerrillas against the occupying Japanese forces. Madden and his group travel to Leyte, where rumors are circulating of the impending American invasion to liberate the Philippines.
