Synopsis:

Set in the Philippines in 1945, "The Great Raid" tells the true story of the 6th Ranger Battalion, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Mucci (Bratt) who undertake a daring rescue mission against all odds. Traveling deep behind enemy lines, the 6th Ranger Battalion aims to liberate over 500 American prisoners-of-war from the notorious Cabanatuan Japanese POW camp.

In the camp, a group of American POWs struggle to survive in appalling, disease-ridden conditions. Although their leader Major Gibson (Joseph Fiennes) does his best to keep his men alive, their fortunes grow worse when an enemy order is given to kill the prisoners. In occupied Manila, Gibson’s love, Margaret (Connie Nielsen), works with the underground resistance and tries to shuttle blackmarket supplies to the prisoners. Meanwhile, Lt. Colonel Mucci’s team, with Captain Prince (James Franco), fights against the odds and races against time, with only one chance to rescue their comrades.
