A harrowing WWII drama that was a huge critical and commercial success in England, this British production was based on a novel by Nevil Shute. During the war, a group of prisoners, mostly women and children, are led by Japanese soldiers on a brutal march through Malaysia. Some die by the roadside and others are sadistically tortured.

The Japanese force Jean and the others to march on while Joe is put on a crucifix and left to die. Michael Betzold, Rovi
