The Great Raid (2005)

A film starring Benjamin Bratt, James Franco, Joseph Fiennes, Marton Csokas, Connie Nielsen and Filipina/Spanish actress Natalie Mendoza, this is based on the true story of the Raid at Cabanatuan, which held on the 30 of January in 1945, a mission meant to rescue some 500 soldiers held at a brutal, and extra legal, "POW" camp run directly by the Japanese.  This was undertaken by the United States Army Rangers, Alamo Scouts and an untold number of Filipino fighters.  The camps were created after the Battle Of Bataan, which simply put, was the invasion of the Philippine archipelago by the Japanese, which saw the surrender of literally tens of thousands of American troops, which the Japanese regarded with utter disdain.  The camps also included an untold number of native Filipinos, and citizens of the United Kingdom, Norway and The Netherlands.  Those sent to the Cabanatuan prison camp had suffered through a forced transfer there by the Japanese known as the Bataan Death March (Martsa ng Kamatayan in Tagalog).  Below is a actual photograph of some of the men after they were rescued from the camp
